Chiari-like Malformation & Syringomyelia In Dogs || Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Prognosis

SEVN veterinary neurologist, Dr. De Pompa, reviews Chiari-like malformation (CM) & Syringomyelia in dogs.

Chiari-like malformation (CM) is a genetic neurologic condition characterized by abnormal growth of bone in the back of the skull, basically making the skull too small for the brain.

Pressure created from this tight space affects the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. This can result in fluid-filled cysts forming within the spinal cord, a secondary condition known as syringomyelia (SM). Unfortunately, as the cysts expand over time, they ultimately damage the center of the spinal cord.
