ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Chiari I malformation is defined by tonsillar herniation through the foramen magnum. There is no consensus on the treatment of Chiari malformation. A simple follow-up is recommended for asymptomatic cases. The classic approach is the midline sub-occipital craniotomy.METHODS:
For four years, we operated on six patients with Chiari malformation I using our endoscopic minimally invasive sub-occipital approach. We compared the results with six other patients operated by the classical sub-occipital approach.RESULTS:
Patients operated by endoscopic approach had shorter hospital stays, and wounds healed faster and smoother. Mid-term results were similar in the two groups.CONCLUSION:
This paper proposes a new endoscopic Minimally invasive paramedian sub-occipital approach for Chiari malformation I. Although the number of cases is limited, the results look promising. We need to gather more cases to have significant numbers to perform a global comparison between the two approaches and assess the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.Palabras clave
