Arnold Chiari malformation surgery in Faridabad, Haryana is an advanced neurosurgical procedure performed to treat a structural defect in the brain where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. Dr. Bhoopendra Foujdar, a leading brain and spine surgeon in Faridabad, provides expert diagnosis and surgical treatment for Chiari malformation using modern techniques that ensure safety, precision, and long-term relief.
This condition can lead to pressure on the brain and spinal cord, causing neurological symptoms that may worsen over time if left untreated. Early intervention helps prevent complications and improves quality of life.
Arnold Chiari malformation surgery is performed to relieve pressure on the brain and spinal cord caused by the downward displacement of brain tissue into the spinal canal.
The lower part of the brain (cerebellum) extends into the spinal canal
This disrupts normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Leads to pressure and neurological symptoms
Relieve pressure on brain and spinal cord
Restore normal CSF flow
Reduce symptoms and prevent progression
Arnold Chiari malformation is usually a congenital condition (present at birth), though it can also develop later in life due to injury or fluid-related issues.
