Thanks Addison! Dressing up like me for career day is a sure fire way to get my attention and some love on social media. The brain is a nice touch too...TheChildrensHospitalofNewYork

Ashlee and Paul Higginbotham's baby wouldn't stop crying. An MRI found an unusual condition. Soon, they found three of their other children had it too.

The most vulnerable attacked again. Really painful and sad to see this unfold in real time. We’ll continue to fight but it seems like a long road gets only longer. Visit us at: Childrensbraintumorproject.org

As part of my well documented attemtps to re-define Chiari based on physiology rather than radiology, herniation of the brain from CSF leaks have frequently emerged during evaluations in a crucial subset of patients. You might not actually have Chiari, but simply need a world-class team to suspect, identify and fix these insidious leaks causing your brain to sag. I'm proud of my partners Gayle Salama, Ibrahim Hussain and Jared Knopman who have helped us form one of the preeminent CSF leak centers in the world at Weill Cornell Medicine. Our team gave an invited overview on a spine-focused podcast, shared with you here today! Several of my patient discussed throughout and a brief cameo at 40 minutes....Please share widely, this isn't talked about enough and is missed frequently!
