Abstract
Surgery for symptomatic Arnold-Chiari malformation type I involves posterior fossa decompression. There are various approaches, including endoscope-assisted ones. New possibilities and fields of application of fully endoscopic techniques are currently being developed since new and advanced endoscopic equipment and instrumentation are available. The authors describe the case of a fully endoscopic microsurgical procedure in a 30-year-old female patient with progressive vertigo who was diagnosed with Chiari malformation type I. Neuronavigation and neuromonitoring were used during the surgery. Fully endoscopic surgery can be successfully performed in patients with Chiari malformation I. Intraoperative neuromonitoring and neuronavigation increase safety during this procedure.
