To evaluate the effectiveness and safety to treat Chiari malformation with the surgical decompression of the foramen magnum under endoscope.In 1 patient with Chiari malformation with syringomyelia, we made a 2.5 cm incision under the endoscope for the surgical decompression of the foramen magnum.All the symptoms and signs were remarkably relieved, and the patient could walk the next day and was discharged 3 days after the operation.The endoscope-assisted decompression of the foramen magnum is a safe and effective surgical method to treat Chiari malformation.
