Chiari type 1 deformity outcome

It is important to be aware of a variety of different Chiari type 1 deformity outcome, including spontaneous resolution, spontaneous worsening, improvement with surgery, and even deterioration after surgery. More research is required to determine objective criteria for predicting outcomes, which include both anatomic measures and physiologic measures of CSF flow so that better surgical decisions can be made and for evaluating patients who have undergone surgery 1).


Efforts to guide preoperative counseling and improve outcomes research are impeded by reliance on small, single-center studies.
