Houston Methodist’s Chiari malformation specialists provide world-class expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of this complex neurological condition. Our compassionate neurologists will help you manage your symptoms and enjoy a higher quality of life.

The neurologists at Houston Methodist are uniquely positioned to diagnose and treat patients with Chiari malformation (CM). This is a brain and nervous system disorder that causes part of the brain to push into the spinal canal, presenting a range of symptoms that vary in severity.

Most patients are diagnosed in infancy. However, symptoms can present later in life, potentially damaging muscles and delicate nerves throughout the body. 

World-class, fellowship-trained specialists at Houston Methodist offer leading-edge therapies, from medical management through intricate neurosurgery. Though there is no cure for CM, our interdisciplinary team can help you achieve a higher quality of life through innovative, personalized treatment.
