Ask the Expert: FOR KIDS: All About Chiari Malformation & Syringomyelia

VIRTUAL MEETING - DECEMBER 10, 2020

Chiari and syringomyelia are disorders that often happen in kids. They are very complicated problems with the brain and spine, but kids should be able to understand, too! Watch Dr. Krystal Tomei explain what Chiari and syringomyelia are and how doctors can help you feel better. Can kids with Chiari or syringomyelia play games with their friends? Does surgery hurt? Dr. Tomei also answers these questions and others sent in by kids with these disorders. This presentation was made during the Bobby Jones CSF Ask the Expert session on Thursday, December 10, 2020.
