Abstract

Abstract: A 6‐year‐old girl with persistent headaches and the visual problem was diagnosed as a delayed onset cranial pansynostosis with concurrent type 1.5 Arnold‐Chiari malformation. She underwent multi‐sutural reconstructive surgery and followed. The headache was greatly decreased and tonsillar‐brain stem herniation and syrinx were resolved. Abstract : Craniosynostosis surgery can reduce intracranial pressure to a great extent so that concurrent brain stem herniation and syrinx may resolve, gradually. It is important to prioritize the main underlying lesion in such complex cases.
