Reevaluation of syringosubarachnoid shunt for syringomyelia with Chiari malformation.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE:Large fusiform aneurysms of the distal anterior cerebral territory are extremely rare and can be particularly challenging to treat. The circumferential pathology of fusiform lesions renders stand-alone clip or coil ablation unsatisfactory, and the deep, narrow corridor augments the difficulty ...
