I became interested in Patients with Syringomyelia and Chiari malformations when I did my PhD in post traumatic syringomyelia in Sydney, Australia with Marcus Stoodley.  I have continued to be involved with biomedical engineers trying to understand the mechanics behind the problem.   As a consultant neurosurgeon at the UKs largest independent neurosciences trust, I am part of a specialist clinic and routinely operate on patients with this condition.  I have been always struck by the problems they have, and the symptoms they continue to have despite, what appears to be, successful treatment.  I hope you will help support this US charity in their work to help understand the problem and improve treatment for the future.  Many thanks
