Mini-Chiari Decompression

Mini-Chiari decompression is a minimally invasive approach for treating Chiari Malformation using a small incision at the back of the head. This technique reduces muscle disruption and scarring, allowing for faster recoveryand minimal hair cutting.

How It Works:

  • A small, tailored bone removal is performed to relieve pressure.

  • Ultrasound imaging is used to assess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.

  • A dura patch is often placed to expand space for the brain.

  • Restoring CSF flow typically leads to symptom improvement.

The mini-Chiari approach offers the same benefits as traditional decompression with less tissue disruption and a more precise, patient-friendly approach.
