Chiari 1 malformation, a pathology characterized by caudal decent of cerebellar tonsils and subsequent outflow hindrances of cerebrospinal fluid, often requires neurosurgical intervention when conservative management fails. This case highlights a minimally invasive approach utilizing a three-blade retractor for effective decompression and duraoplasty while minimizing postoperative discomfort and maximizing outcomes.
