Core Tip |
Achondroplasia and Chiari II malformations can induce similar anatomical changes at the cervicomedullary junction which increase the risk of acute hydrocephalus. Chiari decompression may not always be necessary, however, diligent and acute follow-up is important to monitor for signs of impeding hydrocephalus. If cerebral spinal fluid diversion is required, remember that shunt failure is common in the pediatric age group and also requires close follow-up. |
