Figure 3

Preoperative and postoperative imaging data of CMI patients ((a–c) preoperative MRI; CMI patients after FMD (arrow in (b)), sagittal position, and cross section indicate large syringo in cervicothoracic junction; (d–f) MRI in the 6th month after FVSS (arrow in (d) indicates shunt position) found a significantly reduced syringo; (g–i) the 2nd MRI of patients in the 24th month after FVSS found a smaller and almost disappeared syringo than that observed in the 6th month after FVSS. (c, f, and i) represent the maximum cross-section of syringo).
