We are excited to be launching a new animation today: ‘Understanding Chiari malformation.’
Watch and learn what a Chiari malformation is, how it is diagnosed and what types of treatment may help.
Like many neurological problems, Chiari malformation can seem ‘hidden’ or ‘invisible’ and it can be difficult for others to recognise and understand how it might be affecting you or someone you care about.
