I am not usually one for reading through medically worded and often confusing information, but this one really has caught my eye.

The linked article briefly describes a case in the USA where they suggest that there is a possibility of detecting Chiari Malformation in an as of yet unborn child using ultrasound methods.

If this proves to be true, then I am sure it will open up a whole new opportunity to belay the fears that if proven to be hereditary, Chiari Malformation can be detected early enough.

Prenatal diagnosis of Chiari malformation with syringomyelia in the second trimester.

This is the first time that I have ever seen this mentioned or published. It is true that the information comes from the USA, and that I do try to steer clear of non-UK published information. However, if this is true, and would be available in the UK and would at the same time be an accurate test, I am sure that it would be welcomed amongst parents with Chiari and Syringomyelia.
