Abstract
Chiari malformation (CM) is the most common cause of syringomyelia, where agreed criterions on classification and treatment are still missing. In 2019, 29 international experts from Europe achieved a consensus on the definition, classification, diagnosis and treatment of CM and syringomyelia in adults, aiming to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Now the consensus is interpreted based on recently published literature at home and abroad, aiming to provide references for standardized diagnosis and treatment of CM and syringomyelia in adults.
