Résumé
Chiari type 1 malformation (CIM) is defined as tonsillar ectopia of >5 mm, while syringomyelia (SM) is defined as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled cavity larger than 3 mm dissecting the spinal cord. Over the last decades, our understanding of these pathologies has grown; however, many controversies still exist almost in every aspect of CIM and SM, including etiology, indication for treatment, timing of treatment, surgical technique, follow-up regime, and outcome. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview on different aspects of CIM and SM and on the still existing controversies, based on the evidence presently available. Future directions for clinical research concerning CIM and SM treatment and outcome are elaborated and discussed as well.
