Chiari decompression on 4/8/16: post-operative surveillance. There are postoperative findings related to Chiari decompression surgery with a small amount of fluid overlying the posterior fossa dura and C1 laminectomy bed. There cerebellar tonsils display rounded morphologies and there is intact cerebrospinal fluid flow across the neo-foramen magnum. The vertebral body heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. At C3-4, there is facet hypertrophy, uncovertebral hypertrophy, and a small central disc protrusion, which results in narrowing of the left neural foramen. There is otherwise no significant spinal canal stenosis at this or the other cervical spine levels. The spinal cord displays normal signal and morphology.
