Chronic arachnoiditis in the posterior fossa: a study of 82 cases
Abstract
Arachnoiditis in the posterior fossa is not a rare disorder in China. Eighty-two cases seen in a three year period were studied with reference to symptomatology, aetiology and treatment. The presentation was contrasted with that of increased intracranial pressure caused by tumour. The efficacy of treatment by direct exploration and shunt surgery was emphasised.
