Summary

This research study is to find out which types of dural grafts used during surgery for Chiari Malformations are superior. We believe that autologous dural grafts are superior to non-autologous grafts.

Conditions

  • Chiari Malformation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

decompression of Chiari malformation

Removal of a small section of bone at the back of the skull (posterior foramen magnum decompression) or upper cervical spine. During surgery, the covering of the brain (dura) is enlarged with a graft (autologous or non-autologous).
