Dr. Rafeeque Bhadelia explores the role of CSF flow imaging in Chiari malformation, emphasizing that tonsillar measurements alone do not tell the full story. He discusses how CSF flow obstruction may contribute to symptoms such as Chiari-related headaches and syringomyelia.

A key focus is real-time CSF flow imaging, an emerging technique that can capture changes in CSF movement during activities such as coughing or valsalva. Dr. Bhadelia presents preliminary findings suggesting this approach may provide a more individualized and objective assessment of Chiari patients and could ultimately help guide treatment decisions.
