Chiari Malformation Type 1.5-related Syringomyelia: Treatment Options Differentiates This New Entity From Classic Tonsillar Ectopia: Case Report

We report a case of 49-year-old woman with Chiari type 1.5 syndrome and reviewed the literature to determine the differences between the treatment options of Chiari type 1-related and 1.5-related syringomyelia. Syringosubarachnoidal shunting must be considered as a complementary treatment option for progressive worsened, symptomatic patients with Chiari 1.5 malformation-related syringomyelia in early stages.
