Ventral Decompression in Chiari Malformation, Basilar Invagination, and Related Disorders
Neurosurg Clin N Am.
2015 Oct.
Abstract
Ventral brainstem compression is an uncommon clinical diagnosis seen by pediatric neurosurgeons and associated with Chiari malformation, type I. Presenting clinical symptoms often include headaches, lower cranial neuropathies, myelopathy, central sleep apnea, ataxia, and nystagmus. When ventral decompression is required, both open and endoscopic transoral/transnasal approaches are highly effective.
Keywords: Basilar invagination; Chiari malformation, type I (CM-I); Transoral and transnasal approaches; Ventral brainstem compression; pB-C2.
