Background: Revision surgery for patients with persistent, recurrent, or progressive syringomyelia following foramen magnum decompression (FMD) for Chiari malformation I-syringomyelia (CM-SM) is not uncommon and presents both strategic and technical challenges.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including all patients who underwent revision Cerebellar Tonsillectomy (CTL) for CM-SM between 2003 and 2023. Additionally, we performed uni- and multivariate analyses to identify possible factors contributing to failed CTL outcomes.

We report a case of ACM with extensive syrinx formation, presenting with progressive bilateral proximal upper extremity weakness, bilateral scapular winging, and segmental hypesthesia and reduced thermesthesia over the bilateral C2-C8 dermatomal levels. The patient was successfully treated with surgical decompression and syringosubarachnoid shunting.

We describe a patient with severe Arnold Chiari Malformation and syringomyelia who underwent gynecological laparoscopy in an emergency context; no brain imaging was available. We here report the successful use of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) velocity measurements as surrogate monitoring for cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure, respectively. MCA velocity was low when assessed after peritoneal insufflation and ONSD increased to 6.
