Synonyms Morvan Disease Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Syringomyelia is a neurological disorder characterized by a fluid-filled cavity (syrinx) within the spinal cord. The cavity, for unknown reasons, often expands during adolescence or the young adult years. The syrinx is situated near the middle of the spine. It may extend across the spinal cord or along almost all of its length. Resources American Syringomyelia Alliance Project, Inc.

PubMed Citation View larger version [in this window] [in a new window] A 24-year-old man had a three-year history of progressive muscle wasting and sensory loss in his arms, dysphonia, and dysphagia. During the previous five months, he had had several painless burns on his hands. He had no history of cranial or cervical trauma. He had marked atrophy of the right deltoid, biceps, and upper trapezius muscles and of the hypothenar eminence and dorsal interosseous muscles of the right hand. Biceps, triceps, and brachioradialis reflexes were bilaterally abolished. Sensitivity to pain and heat was lost in both arms, over the right side of the face, and over the chest and upper back. Hypalgesia was present in the perioral skin of the left side of the face. The right corneal reflex was decreased. Touch and pressure perception was preserved. No gait abnormality was identified. Sagittal, T -weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine without gadolinium enhancement showed a pathologic cavitation (syrinx) extending along the entire cervical cord (arrows in Panel A). MRI of the dorsal spine showed syringomyelic disease of the dorsal cord (arrows in Panel B). A cervical syringotomy was performed. Two years later, there had been no change in the degree of sensory loss and amyotrophy, but the dysphonia and dysphagia had decreased, and no further clinical deterioration had occurred.

UW Medicine - Chiari Malformation Clinic Syringomyelia ("sear-ing-go-my-eelya") is simply a fluid-filled cavity of cerebralspinal fluid (CSF) in the spinal cord. This fluid filled sac, or cavity, is also known as a syrinx. This cavitation of the spinal cord is usually progressive and can cause neurological deterioration over time. In other words, until the underlying cause of the syrinx is fixed, it will continue to get larger and cause progressive damage to the nerves of the spinal cord. The Chiari malformation is one of the leading cause of syringomyelia. There are also many other causes such as trauma. Many theories exist as to what causes the syrinx to form, however, none have conclusively been proven or universally accepted. Most surgeons agree that the flow of CSF around the herniated tonsils must be restored in order to see the syrinx resolve, or collapse.

Alternative Names: Syrinx Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Syringomyelia is caused by a formation of a fluid-filled cavity within the spinal cord. This fluid build-up may be a result of spinal cord trauma , tumors of the spinal cord, or congenital defects. The cavity most often begins in the neck area. It expands slowly, causing progressive damage to the spinal cord due to the pressure exerted by the fluid. Symptoms result from the spinal cord damage. Syringomyelia may occur in certain developmental abnormalities of the nervous system, including Chiari malformations.

It can have many different causes such as spinal cord trauma, spinal cord tumours, scoliosis , spinal cord tethering and Chiari malformation, or it may have no identifiable cause. Hydrocephalus can be an associated condition and treatment of it may resolve the syringomyelia. The cyst like change within the spinal cord can extend over a variable length and the symptoms it can cause reflects the level of the change within the spinal cord. Sometimes they can actually be asymptomatic. However, often they can affect sensory perception and ultimately can cause deranged motor function. As the syrinx is usually secondary to another condition the patient most commonly presents with the symptoms attributable to that condition. Therefore in cases of syringomyelia secondary to another condition the treatment is not aimed at the syrinx but at the cause. The treatment of syringomyelia with no identifiable cause can be controversial as in many cases no treatment may be required.

Usually the cervical region is affected. Among the causes are developmental defect, tumour, trauma, infarction and haemorrhage. Idiopathic cases are also known. Patients have neurological deficits with segmental muscle weakness and atrophy and sensory loss. Posttraumatic syringomyelia can occur decades after the initial injury in patients who have sustained spinal trauma. Myelography shows arachnoiditis and adhesions at the level of injury; focal alterations in the size of the spinal cord may also be present. CT scanning is relatively insensitive in this disorder. At present, MR imaging is the imaging method of choice for detection of posttraumatic syringomyelia. With MR imaging, the cystic cavity in posttraumatic syringomyelia shows signal intensity characteristics similar to those of cerebrospinal fluid on all sequences ( Fig.1

SYRINGOMYELIA AND RELATED CONDITIONS What is syringomyelia? Syringomyelia (sir-RING-o-my-elia) occurs when a tubular cavity (syrinx) develops within the spinal cord, caused by an obstruction of the CSF circulatory pathways. Approximately 80 percent of cases are the result of a Chiari malformation. Other causes include trauma, hemorrhage, infection and spinal cord tethering. An enlarged syrinx can give rise to painful sensory disturbances and paralysis of the extremities. Dr. Milhorat and his colleagues have published definitive studies on the pathology, pain syndromes and surgical management of syringomyelia (SM). What other conditions are related to Chiari malformation? Other Chiari-related disorders treated at The Chiari Institute include basilar invagination (protrusion of the upper end of the spine into the skull); craniospinal instability; intracranial and intraspinal cysts; tumors of the cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord; spina bifida; spinal cord tethering; hydrocephalus (a buildup of CSF in the cavities of the brain); and pseudotumor cerebri (chronically raised CSF pressure).
