Video Summary
In this video, Eric Montgomery, a medical student at the University of Texas Southwestern, discusses the surgical treatment options for a TRU1 malformation. He explains that while less invasive procedures are becoming more popular due to their similar clinical outcomes and lower risk, there is limited focus on more invasive subdural procedures. Montgomery mentions a recent study that found no difference in syrinx improvement between posterior faucet decompression with and without tonsillar reduction. He then presents the results of a retrospective review of 401 pediatric patients, comparing different treatment groups. Overall, their data supports cerebellar tonsillar resection as an effective and safe option for treating TRU1 malformation.
