What is Chiari Malformation?

Chiari Malformation (Arnold-Chiari) is a serious neurological disorder where the bottom part of the brain, the cerebellum, descends out of the skull and crowds the spinal cord, putting pressure on both the brain and spine and causing many symptoms.



An excellent site that fully explains the symptoms, treatment and prognosis of Chiari is www.conquerchiari.org. Check it out! EDUCATE EDUCATE EDUCATE!
