Cognition in Pediatric Chiari Malformation Type 1 Before and After Posterior Fossa Decompression
The children in this study scored within the average range on cognitive tests before surgery compared to age-adjusted norms. After surgery, the test results improved significantly in several domains or remained stable at the preoperative level. These findings are important and could influence surgical decisions for children with CM1.
