Professional Profiles, Technical Preferences, Surgical Opinions, and Management of Clinical Scenarios from a Panel of 63 International Experts in the Field of Chiari I Malformation
2020, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :The choices of the duraplasty materials included bovine patches (35%), autologous pericranium (32%),6 synthetic materials such as Gore-Tex (12.5%), autologous fascia (8.9%),7 and others. Of the surgeons, 4% left the dura open.8 A wide spectrum of preferences was also seen in the suturing materials used to secure the duraplasty: polypropylene (39.2%), braided Nylon (30.3%), Gore-Tex (10.7%), and others (19.6%).
Other Primary Headaches: An Update
2019, Neurologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Williams also observed that the headache disappeared after decompressive craniectomy.15 Subsequently, Nightingale and Williams16 described 4 more patients who had headache due to episodic impaction of the cerebellar tonsils in the foramen magnum after abrupt Valsalva maneuvers. In our series, not only it was demonstrated that tonsillar descent is the actual cause of cough headache, but it was shown that the presence of cough headache in patients with Chiari type I only correlated with the degree of tonsillar descent.9

2010, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The pathophysiology of secondary cough headache is reasonably well understood. This headache seems to be secondary to a temporary impact of the cerebellar tonsils below the foramen magnum (Tinel, 1932; Williams, 1976, 1980; Nightingale and Williams, 1987; Sansur et al., 2003). In 2 patients with cough headache and tonsillar herniation, Williams demonstrated a pressure difference between the ventricle and the lumbar subarachnoid space during coughing (Williams, 1976).
