## Resource

Chiari malformation is a rare, potentially very serious condition that can easily be misdiagnosed without proper expertise. Untreated, complications like hydrocephalus, CSF leaks, cysts in the spinal cord, and nerve and muscle damage can develop but Dr. Jeffrey Greenfield, a pediatric neurosurgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian, is addressing the unmet need for better management of this disorder through the Chiari CARE program at Weill Cornell Medicine–a multidisciplinary care model involving neurology, pain management, neuropsychology, radiology, and other specialties. This initiative is paving the way towards providing full-spectrum care to patients and furthering research to develop better treatment pathways for the future. Dr. Greenfield joins Erin Welsh on this episode of Advances in Care to discuss the types of Chiari malformation and how NewYork-Presbyterian, an integrated academic hospital, is uniquely positioned to provide transitional care to patients, treating them from childhood through adulthood.
