ALOFT BOSTON SEAPORT HOTEL - BOSTON, MA - OCTOBER 7, 2017

Dr. Khaled Gad (Suez Canal University) details a recently published article in which he and Dr. David Yousem (Johns Hopkins University) analyzed the presence of syringomyelia in patients with Chiari I malformation. What did these patients have in common with Chiari, only patients and what was different about them?

The purpose of the analysis, overall, was to determine which Chiari patients might be most likely to develop a syrinx-- and the results were very interesting!(2017)
