Computational fluid dynamics modelling of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in Chiari malformation and syringomyelia

The pathogenesis of syringomyelia in association with Chiari malformation (CM) is unclear. Studies of patients with CM have shown alterations in the CSF velocity profile and these could contribute to syrinx development or enlargement. Few studies have considered the fluid mechanics of CM patients wi...
