Impact of Additional Tonsillar Manipulation or Intra-articular Distraction on Syrinx Remission for Type B Basilar Invagination

Key Points

• The study aims to compare the effects of additional tonsillar manipulation and intra-articular distraction on syrinx remission for type B basilar invagination.
• Evaluated effects of tonsillar manipulation and intra-articular distraction on syringomyelia remission.
• Assessed complication rates associated with both interventions.
• Measured hospital stay duration related to treatment methods.
• Tonsillar manipulation resulted in earlier syringomyelia remission but higher complication rates.
• Intra-articular distraction also led to earlier remission but with fewer complications and shorter hospital stays.
