Concurrent posterior vault expansion and extradural Chiari decompression in syndromic and non-syndromic craniosynostosis: a case series
Posterior vault expansion with extradural Chiari decompression in patients with concomitant suspected increased ICP and craniosynostosis appears safe and relatively effective at extended follow-up. Additional study of its long-term effects, patient selection, and comparison of PVDO vs PVR is warranted.
