Каждая из указанных в заголовке статьи патологий редка и может приводить к компрессии ствола головного и спинного мозга с развитием «смешанной» клинической картины. Тактика лечения пациентов с сочетанием этих патологий, предлагаемая разными авторами, существенно отличается.</p><p>Цель публикации – обобщить собственный опыт лечения пациентов с базилярной инвагинацией, ассоциированной с аномалией Киари I типа, и сопоставить результаты с данными научной литературы.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. С 2014 по 2019 г. в Национальном медико-хирургическом центре им. Н. И. Пирогова было проведено хирургическое лечение 3 пациентов с сочетанием базилярной инвагинации и аномалии Киари I типа. Показаниями к операции были длительно прогрессирующие неврологические нарушения и неэффективность консервативной терапии. Выполнена передняя эндоскопическая трансназальная и задняя декомпрессия нервных структур с последующей стабилизацией.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Состояние всех пациентов оценено через 12 мес после операции. У всех пациентов наблюдалась положительная динамика неврологического статуса. По данным магнитно-резонансной томографии краниовертебрального сочленения у 2 пациентов констатирована положительная динамика: регресс очага миелопатии, уменьшение диаметра сирингомиелической кисты.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Передняя эндоскопическая трансназальная декомпрессия нервных структур показана при преобладании в клинической картине бульбарных нарушений и / или парезов конечностей, задняя декомпрессия – при наличии специфических симптомов аномалии Киари I типа и / или сирингомиелии. Принимая во внимание результаты последних исследований, можно предположить, что стабилизация является необходимой составляющей лечения пациентов с данными патологиями.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. Each of the pathologies is rare and can lead to compression of the brainstem and spinal cord, with the development of a “mixed” clinical picture. The tactics of treating such patients differs from one author to another.</p><p>The objective is to present the author’s experience in treating patients with basilar invagination associated with type I Chiari malformation and to analyze the literature on the methods of surgical treatment of this pathology.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. From 2014 to 2019, 3 patients with a basilar invagination and type I Chiari malformation were surgically treated at the N. I. Pirogov National Medical and Surgical Center. Indications for surgical intervention were long-term progressive neurological disorders, lack of effect from conservative therapy. Patients underwent anterior transnasal and posterior decompression of nerve structures followed by stabilization.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. All patients were evaluated 12 months after surgery. All patients in neurological status showed positive dynamics. According to magnetic resonance imaging of the craniovertebral junction, 2 patients showed positive dynamics: regression of the myelopathy, a decrease in the diameter of the syringomyelic cyst.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The criteria for anterior transnasal decompression are the predominance of bulbar disorders and / or paresis in the extremities in the clinical picture; posterior decompression of nerve structures, indicated in the presence of specific symptoms of type I Chiari malformation and / or syringomyelia. Taking into account the results of the latest published studies it can be assumed that stabilization is a necessary option in the treatment of patients with this pathology.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>базилярная инвагинация</kwd><kwd>аномалия Киари I типа</kwd><kwd>эндоскопическая трансназальная декомпрессия</kwd><kwd>атлантоаксиальная нестабильность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>basilar invagination</kwd><kwd>type I Chiari malformation</kwd><kwd>endoscopic transnasal decompression</kwd><kwd>atlanto-axial instability</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Alkoç O.A., Songur A., Eser O. et al.
