Intraoperative Ultrasound in Chiari 1 Decompression: Clarity or Confusion? A Systematic Review
The available evidence does not yet support iUS as a robust testing method to inform intraoperative decision making regarding the extent of decompression, due to the heterogeneity of its application, and the absence of standardized assessment criteria. We propose a reporting framework incorporating all currently reported criteria to induce standardization and guide further research.
