A computational fluid dynamics study to assess the impact of coughing on cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in Chiari type 1 malformation

Abstract Chiari type 1 malformation is a neurological disorder characterized by an obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation between the brain (intracranial) and spinal cord (spinal) compartments. Actions such as coughing might evoke spinal cord complications in patients with Chiari t...
