About the clinic
Liv Hospital Ulus in Istanbul, Turkey provides specialized care for syringomyelia. A neurology consultation may cost around $235, and a full diagnostic MRI suite is available, with prices ranging from $805 for a Brain MRI to $1,600 for a Cervical Spine MRI. Surgical treatment for associated Chiari malformation typically runs from $11,000. The clinic's expertise is led by Chief Neurosurgeon Prof. Altay Sencer at a JCI-accredited facility.
Diagnostic Evaluation
A precise diagnosis is the first step. The hospital offers a complete neurological workup. This includes specialized consultations and advanced imaging.
- Pediatric Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Neurology Consultations: Experts assess symptoms and medical history.
- Advanced MRI Imaging: High-resolution 3.0 Tesla MRI scans of the brain and spine. A Brain MRI may cost around $805, while a Cervical Spine MRI is approximately $1,600.
- Supportive Tests: These can include Electromyography (EMG) and comprehensive laboratory panels.
Surgical Treatment
The primary surgical option for syringomyelia with Chiari malformation is posterior decompression and duraplasty. Prof. Altay Sencer, the chief neurosurgeon, performs this procedure. It relieves pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord.
The surgery uses a posterior approach for occipital-cervical decompression. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 7 days. The total recommended stay in Turkey is around 20 days for recovery and follow-up.
Treatment Packages and Pricing
The clinic offers structured treatment packages. These bundle surgical care with essential services.
- Posterior Decompression + Duraplasty Package: This package may cost around $11,000. It includes the surgery, a 7-day hospital stay, all related medical services, and a post-operative CT or MRI scan.
- Comprehensive Chiari Malformation Decompression Package: This more extensive package typically runs between $19,000 and $20,600. It covers the surgery, a cervical MRI, the hospital stay, and necessary follow-up care.
Both packages provide clarity for international patients. Flights and accommodation beyond the included hospital stay are not covered. Liv Hospital Ulus supports patients with airport transfers and interpreter services. Contact the clinic to discuss a personalized diagnostic and treatment plan.

I would highly recommend bookimed to anyone needing a complex medical procedure
Our son was recommended to undergo a complex surgical procedure, which was not only risky but also extremely complicated. I couldn't be more satisfied with bookimed. From start to finish their representative Olha was professional, responsive and genuinely invested in helping me find the best possible care.
Olha took the time to understand my medical needs and concerns and provide personalized recomendatios for hospitals and surgeons of different regions. The information they provided was thorough and accurate.
The entire process was smooth and stressfree. All travel matters and documents were swiftly provided for travel procedures.
i appreciate the extra effort to ensure I was comfortable every step of the way. They kept a check on my son even after the procedure regarding his well being.
I would highly recommend bookimed to anyone needing a complex medical procedure .They have fully earned my trust and i feel grateful for their support during my challenging time.
the representative's swift and prompt response

كل الشكر لكم
زرنا مستشفى ليف بإسطنبول بناءا على نصيحة منسقكم السيد عماد حسين و تعاملنا مع قسم الاورام هناك بمساعدة السيدة فراح
الحقيقة المستشفى كان في المستوى و التعامل مع المريض كان جيد جدا
وقعت مشكلة صغيرة بخصوص ثمن الاستشارة الذي وصل الى 700 اورو بسبب سوء تفاهم مع المترجم لكن تم حل المشكلة و الاكتفاء بثمن الاستشارة 90اورو
شكرا على تعاونكم
نعم كان فيه تعاون كبير جدا من طرف السيد عماد حسين حتى انه كان يراسلني للسؤال و للاطمئنان على صحة المريضة
انسان فعال في عمله عند وعوده في الاتصال بالمستشفيات و واضح في لغته و لطيف في تعاملاته
كل الشكر لكم
