Impacts of type 1 Chiari malformation on elderly
In elderly CM patients, surgery improved symptoms for most but led to reoperations in two cases. Despite a slight increase in syrinx diameter and a drop in the CCOS score, better outcomes were associated with smaller syrinxes. Further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies for this population.
