Chiari
Malformation
Chiari ("kee-are-ee") malformation is a disorder of the brain
where the cerebellum is herniated through the foramen magnum and into
the spinal canal. The foramen magnum is the hole in your skull that the
brainstem and spinal cord exit.
Our UW Medicine Chiari Malformation Clinic is headed by Richard G. Ellenbogen, MD, FACS, Professor and Chairman UW Neurological Surgery, Chief of Neurosurgery at Harborview Medical Center, and Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle, Washington; the UW Chiari Clinic utilizes world-class doctors, nurses, patient care coordinators and facilities to provide exceptional treatment for these disorders.
