The factors affecting the outcomes of conservative and surgical treatment of chiari i adult patients: a comparative retrospective study

CONCLUSIONS: ASV≤12 µl is a significant predictor for surgical intervention. The presence of heavy sleep apnea or/and functional symptoms, tonsillar herniation >13.4 mm on coronal images, low ASV, long symptom durations, and a syrinx are the independent prognostic factors that affected outcomes negatively.PMID:35109779 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1967681
