Since the active introduction of neuroimaging methods, the prevalence of
registered children with craniovertebral anomalies, including the Chiari
malformation (CM), has a statistically significant tendency to increase.
Minimally invasive surgical interventions are the most acceptable in pediatric
neurosurgery, however, currently experience has been accumulated enough that
does not confirm the universality of this method, due to the high frequency of
reoperations at an older age, as well as a decrease of children’s quality of
life in the interoperative periods. Considering the imperfection of treatment
strategy mentioned above, the aim of this article was to analyze modern surgical
interventions in pediatric and adult neurosurgeons with confirmation of our own
results as an example of a clinical case of Chiari malformation in our clinic.
