Summary

The purpose of this study is to decide which position of the neck affects cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flow between the spinal cord and the brain. CSF is a fluid that flows up and down your spinal cord, around the brain and into the ventricles of the brain.

This study will be done with patients who have abnormalities of the neck, including Chiari 1 malformations.
