The annual CSF Think Tank Meeting brings together the leading experts in the clinical and research world who are interested in Chiari malformation, syringomyelia and related disorders. Research initiatives are shared and new ideas are developed to find answers for patients and families who need it most.
The 2018 CSF Think Tank focused on unlocking new genetic markers and heritability of Chiari malformation, as well as the new paths that Chiari, syringomyelia and related disorder research and treatment have been undertaking in recent years.
