Fourth ventricular stenting in foramen magnum decompression for type 1 Chiari malformations with syringomyelia
This case series evaluates the use of a fourth ventricular stent as part of FMD for CM-1. The study demonstrates the efficacy of a stent with satisfactory radiological and clinical outcomes. The results support the use of fourth ventricular stenting as a useful adjunct in patients with complex obstruction of fourth ventricle outflow.
