Surgical outcomes of calvaria reconstruction in cranial pansynostosis associated with Arnold‐Chiari type 1.5 malformation, a case report

Abstract

Abstract A 6‐year‐old girl with persistent headaches and the visual problem was diagnosed as a delayed onset cranial pansynostosis with concurrent type 1.5 Arnold‐Chiari malformation. She underwent multi‐sutural reconstructive surgery and followed. The headache was greatly decreased and tonsillar‐brain stem herniation and syrinx were resolved.
