  • General
    • The term C-0 was introduced because symptoms and associated syrinx (a fluid-filled cyst within the spinal cord) in these patients improved after a standard Chiari operation, even though their cerebellar tonsils were at or above the foramen magnum.
  • Definition
    • Crowded foramen magnum, but specifically exists without tonsillar herniation.
  • Association features
    • C-0 is associated with hydromyelia (or syringomyelia).
