El servicio de Neurocirugía del Hospital Universitario Vall d'Hebron ha participado en esta segunda publicación de las recomendaciones internacionales para el Diagnóstico y Tratamiento de la malformación de Chiari tipo 1 en pacientes en edad pediátrica. Las malformaciones de la charnela craneocervical son una de las líneas de investigación traslacional consolidadas de la UNINN.

Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) is a rare condition where agreed classification and treatment are still missing. The goal of this study is to achieve a consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of CM1 in children.

The consensus document consists of 58 statements (24 on diagnosis, 34 on treatment), serving clinicians and researchers following children with CM1. There is a clear need for establishing an international network and registry and to promote collaborative studies to increase the evidence base and optimize the long-term care of this patient population.
