Hydrosyringomyelia associated with a Chiari I malformation in children and adolescents.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has been used predominantly in the pediatric population in the past. Application in the adult population has been less extensive, even in large neurosurgical centers. To our knowledge, this report is one of the largest adult ETV series reported and has the consistency o...
