Surgical treatment of syringomyelia. Favorable results with syringoperitoneal shunting.

abstract：:Although the development of tonsillar herniation (acquired Chiari malformation) in association with lumboperitoneal (LP) shunting is well recognized, it has previously been considered rare. In order to ascertain the incidence of this complication after LP shunting, the authors undertook a retrospective study of all pa...
