While CM-I is typically defined as ≥5 mm downward displacement of cerebellar tonsils, overall CM-I cerebellar morphology is highly heterogeneous, and it is uncertain if this variability represents distinct patient populations or influences clinical response to suboccipital decompression.METHODS: 186 adult CM-I p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
