Background: Surgical approaches for Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) complicated with syringomyelia (SM) are controversial, so we assessed the efficacy and safety of two widely used procedures.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed results from posterior fossa decompression (PFD) using bony decompression with dura-splitting or a combined technique (duraplasty with arachnoid dissection and coagulation of the herniated tonsils) for CM-I associated with SM between Jan 2008 and Feb 2016. Patients were followed up for at least one year.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to describe the epidemiology and clinical features of Moyamoya disease in Nanjing, China, as prior documentation was lacking.
- Researchers analyzed patient records from various hospitals over a period from 2000 to 2007, identifying 202 patients with varied age ranges and initial symptoms predominantly consisting of cerebral hemorrhage and ischemia.
- Findings showcased a rising incidence of Moyamoya disease during the study years, with a notable bimodal age distribution, indicating it is more common in both young children (ages 5-9) and adults (ages 35-39).
