Prognostic Significance of Central Skull Base Remodeling in Chiari II Malformation [PEDIATRIC NEUROIMAGING]
CONCLUSIONS:
Pediatric patients with Chiari II malformation who ultimately required surgical hydrocephalus treatment had greater outward convexity of the basiocciput but had greater posterior atlanto-occipital membrane outward convexity only if the repair was performed postnatally. Together these measurements may be useful in predicting the need for hydrocephalus treatment.
