Synopsis

Keywords: Spinal Cord, Spinal CordIn this study, the cine-phase contrast (cine-PC) sequence was used to compare the flow rate of cerebrospinal fluid in the midbrain aqueduct of patients with Chiari type I before and after posterior decompression and to analyze the difference in the ratio of cerebellar volume to posterior fossa volume between patients with Chiari type I and normal controls. Cine-PC magnetic resonance imaging and 3D-T2 scanning are shown to be effective for surgically evaluating patients undergoing posterior decompression surgery.
