Measurement of CSF flow and brain motion in Chiari malformation type I subjects undergoing posterior fossa decompression surgery
Here, the authors found that presurgical measures of cerebral dynamics were more descriptive of improvements to CSF flow and brain motion after PFD surgery than the conventional measure of presurgical tonsillar descent. These expanded quantitative assessments to determine which patients may benefit from surgery could improve the overall quality of patient care.
