Chiari Decompression Surgery: What You Need to Know

What is Craniotomy | Dr. Rah
Chiari decompression surgery is a procedure designed to treat Chiari malformation, a condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. This can cause symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, and balance problems.

Key Points:

  • Purpose: The surgery aims to relieve pressure on the brain and spinal cord by removing a small section of the skull and sometimes part of the upper spinal column.
  • Benefits: Helps alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life by reducing pressure and restoring normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
  • Recovery: Post-surgery recovery involves monitoring and rehabilitation to ensure optimal outcomes.
