“…In cases with associated hydrocephalus, CSF drainage can have a similar effect. Gnanalingham et al 1 recently reported a case of TN with Chiari-I malformation that was successfully treated by CSF shunting alone and Teo et al 3 describe a similar effect achieved by a third ventriculostomy.…”

“…1,3,11,[13][14][15][16][17] It has been more commonly linked to syringobulbia associated with a variety of hindbrain malformations. 8 As demonstrated in the imaging in this particular patient, there was no evidence of syringobulbia or hydrocephalus to explain the symptoms of facial pain.…”

The authors describe a unique presentation and long-term management of a rare craniovertebral abnormality in a patient presenting to their institution. This 10-year-old girl presented with right-sided facial pain and subjective dysesthesia of the chest wall without evidence of cervical myelopathy. She was found to have extensive cervicothoracic syringomyelia secondary to compression at the foramen magnum by hypertrophic occipital condyles. Posterior decompression and medial condylectomy was performed, with significant radiological and clinical improvement over the next 5 years of follow-up. The authors discuss the clinical pathophysiology and operative techniques used.

“…[4][5][6]14,17 In cases in which hydrocephalus was present along with the CM, cerebrospinal fluid diversion through a ventriculoperitoneal shunt 8 or via endoscopic third ventriculostomy 16 was sufficient. Our patient regained her facial sensation and gag reflex following posterior fossa decompression and partial C-1 laminectomy.…”

The combination of unilateral trigeminal and vagal nerve dysfunction is a rare presentation in patients with Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I). The authors present a case of incomplete lateral medullary syndrome in a patient with CM-I. The patient's symptoms of decreased unilateral facial sensitivity to pain and temperature and her vocal cord dysfunction reversed after posterior fossa decompression and intradural exploration. Although rare, clinicians should be aware of this presentation as part of a protean spectrum of symptoms in patients with CM-I.
