Brief Answer:
Decompression seems okay.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.

I have read your query and the MRI picture that you uploaded.

Judging from the MRI picture that you uploaded, the decompression seems to be successful, the syrinx needs time to regress.

However, in some cases after Chiari decompression surgery, hydrocephalus or other complications may develop.

It is necessary to examine the whole MRI of the brain in order to understand better this possibility.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
