In patients with both CMI and hydrocephalus, treating the CMI first in an effort to avoid a shunt can be safe and effective. In this series, PFDD in the setting of hydrocephalus did not result in CSF leak or pseudomeningocele. While limited by a small sample size, these data support a causative relationship between CMI and hydrocephalus.
