Chiari Malformation
The pediatric neurosurgeons at Weill Cornell have extensive experience in treating Chiari malformations in children and young adults, and the surgical program has produced excellent outcomes. We consult with patients and their families to provide evaluations and recommendations, we confer with physicians and neurologists about referrals, and we encourage families to connect with our former patients for one-on-one support. (See Information for Parents to connect with other families through our Parent-to-Parent program.) If surgery is indicated, our pediatric neurosurgery service will provide expert, compassionate care, from pre-surgical counseling through recovery and beyond.
