If you think of a term that we should add, or you see a definition that you feel is incorrect or should be expanded upon, please feel free to suggest a term. New discoveries regarding Chiari and its comorbidities are continuously being made (which makes this a very exciting time for those of us that suffer with it). We’re committed to keeping up with updated information and helping bring new discoveries to light!
