The purpose of this study is to determine whether a posterior fossa decompression and duraplasty with or without tonsil manipulation results in better patient outcomes with fewer complications and improved quality of life in those who have Chiari malformation type I and syringomyelia.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants with Chiari Malformation type I and syringomyelia will be randomized to either have a posterior fossa decompression and duraplasty with or without tonsil manipulation. The participant will then return to the neurosurgeon's office at the following time points which are consistent with standard of care practice: 3-6 months, 12 and 24 months. At these visits, the clinician will complete a physical exam and the participant will report on the prognosis of symptoms and complete questionnaires.
