Studies suggest that failure to disrupt this veil during posterior fossa decompression can reduce the likelihood of syringomyelia resolution. However, there is no reliable method for predicting the presence of the veil without direct surgical exploration. This study aims to evaluate the association between pre-operative symptoms, radiographic measurements, and the arachnoid veil.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A retrospective review of an institutional database of children evaluated for CM-I was conducted. For patients treated with surgery, operative notes were reviewed to determine if an arachnoid veil was present. Logistic regression was used to test for relationship of clinical variables and radiographic measurements with the presence of an arachnoid veil.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Out of 997 children with CM-1, 226 surgical patients were included in the analysis after excluding those with inadequate documentation. An arachnoid veil was found in 23 patients (10.2%). Larger syrinx, spinal canal, and thecal sac diameters were significantly associated with the presence of a veil, with odds ratios of 1.23 (95% CI 1.2\u20131.48; p\u2009=\u20090.03), 1.27 (95% CI 1.02\u20131.59; p\u2009=\u20090.03), and 1.35 (95% CI 1.03\u20131.77; p\u2009=\u20090.03), respectively.
