He does a great job describing how the trial works and how this multi-institutional research study is going so far. The purpose of this trial is to determine if the usual surgery for Chiari (posterior fossa decompression) is more, less or just as effective with or without what neurosurgeons call "duraplasty", which involves opening the little film covering the brain called the "dura". There are pros and cons to opening or not opening the dura and, right now, there is no real evidence proving which (if either) approach is better. The m randomized trial is designed to find this evidence. This lecture was given at the 2018 CSF Think Tank meeting on April 28, 2018 in New Orleans, LA.
