Presentation transcript:

Patient 1. Patient 1. A, Sagittal T1-weighted image (600/8/2) shows a Chiari I malformation, with tonsillar herniation to the mid-C2 level and a pointed configuration to the cerebellar tonsils (arrow). B, Sagittal T2-weighted image (3000/105eff /3) shows T2 prolongation within the spinal cord parenchyma at the C2–C3 level. C, Sagittal images from a cine phase-contrast flow study in systole (left panel) and diastole (right panel), sensitized to flow in the superior-to-inferior direction (see text for parameters). Note the absence of flow-related phase change at the level of the foramen magnum, as well as prominent tonsillar motion in both systole and diastole, with the curved arrows indicating the position of the tonsillar tips in systole and diastole. Subtle linear low signal is present anterior to the tonsil in diastole (right panel, straight arrow), indicating minimal flow between the fourth ventricle and the spinal subarachnoid space below the level of the foramen magnum. D, Sagittal T1-weighted image (500/14/3) obtained 6 weeks later after limited extradural decompression of the foramen magnum. Cord expansion and parenchymal hypointensity (curved arrows) are present in the upper cervical cord. E, Sagittal T2-weighted image (3000/105eff /3) corresponding to D shows marked upper cervical cord T2 prolongation. This was presumed related to ongoing or increased obstruction to CSF flow. F, Axial T1-weighted image (500/13/2) shows that the central parenchymal signal abnormality is somewhat ill-defined and not as low in signal intensity as CSF. G, Cine phase-contrast flow study sensitized to motion in the superior-to-inferior direction (see text for parameters) shows prominent downward motion of the brain stem and cerebellar tonsils (which appear white), but no definite flow of CSF at the foramen magnum. The tip of the tonsil is indicated (curved arrow). H, Sagittal T1-weighted image (600/8/2) after aggressive decompression of the foramen magnum, including duraplasty, lysis of arachnoid adhesions, and partial tonsillar resection shows that the upper cervical cord appears to be of normal caliber. Minimal parenchymal hypointensity persists in the upper cervical spinal cord (curved arrow). I, Sagittal T2-weighted image (4000/105eff /2) corresponding to H shows near-complete resolution of previously seen abnormal T2 prolongation. J, Cine phase-contrast flow study sensitized to motion in the superior-to-inferior direction (see text for parameters) no longer shows abnormal downward motion of the brain stem or residual cerebellar tonsils. CSF flow is evident at the foramen magnum (curved arrows). Nancy J. Fischbein et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 1999;20:7-20 ©1999 by American Society of Neuroradiology
