2021, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :The preoperative pressure monitoring of both the cyst and the ventricles confirmed their hypothesis, and they observed symptom relief after CSV positioning.13 Understanding the mechanisms underlying CSF flow obstruction and reported symptoms is essential to choose the best surgical treatment.4,13,26,31,32 However, while the neurologic picture should represent the starting point of surgical management, as reported by Cal et al.,33 the real issue should be which patient should be considered for operative intervention and, above all, determining the type of surgery Indeed, although intermittent headache that worsens with the Valsalva maneuver is the most frequent symptom related to tonsillar descent, symptoms of retrocerebellar ACs could be related to cyst position and mass effect on surrounding structures (e.g., vertigo, dizziness, vomiting).13
