Morphometric Evaluation of Posterior Fossa in Patients Operated Due to Chiari Malformation Type 2
The depth of the tonsillar herniation may not be the most viable finding influencing operative indication due to its dependency on the length of the McRae line. A small amount of CSF at the level of foramen magnum also should not necessarily be considered an early sign of syringomyelia. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt implantation seems not to influence the depth of tonsillar herniation.
