Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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. Symptoms Return to top Numbness or decreased sensation Neck, shoulders, upper arms, trunk in a cape-like distribution Slowly, but progressively worsens Lessened ability to sense that the skin is being touched Decreased sense of pain or temperature Weakness (decreased muscle strength, independent of exercise) in the arms or legs

SYRINGOMYELIA AND SCOLIOSIS JEFFREY J. METER, M.D., Orthopaedic Resident ROBERT STANTON, M.D., Pediatric Orthopaedic Attending January 16, 1996 CLINICAL CASE PRESENTATION ORTHOPAEDIC DEPARTMENT THE ALFRED I. DUPONT INSTITUTE WILMINGTON, DELAWARE CASE HISTORY: HISTORY: J.G. is a ten year old female who presented to the Institute with a spinal curvature noted in a routine camp physical. She had no neurologic complaints. Her birth, medical, and developmental history were all unremarkable. Her father has a vague history of spinal curvature. PHYSICAL EXAM: Physical examination was significant for a moderate left thoracic rib prominence as well as absent abdominal reflexes in the upper and lower quadrants on the left side. XRAYS: A 24 degree left thoracic curve from T5 - Tl1 was noted on scoliosis spine films.With the asymmetric abdominal reflexes and high thoracic left curve she was sent for an MRI scan. This revealed a large syringomyelia with dilatation in the lower cervical and upper thoracic area. Also noted was an Arnold-Chiari malformation. TREATMENT: She was referred to a neurosurgeon who performed a posterior fossa decompression. She tolerated this well.

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.

This page is being setup to help people who are living with Syringomyelia (SM) and who are seeking information about this disorder. I was diagnosed as having SM in 1986 and as it was once considered to be a rare disorder, I soon found myself feeling alone without a support group to turn to, until one day, when my OT (Occupational Therapist) suggested trying to make contact with others in a similar position to me. My search started by writing to a few magazines and slowly people started to make contact. To cut a long story short, my goal is to see this web site become a focus point for SM sufferers and carers, primarily in Australia (because there no support group here in Oz') but also for others around the globe who have found themselves in a similar situation. Today there is greater interest in spinal cord research and this is reflected in the recent spinal cord forum which was supported by the N. S. W. Government, which was attended by Christopher Reeves.

Syringomyelia An excerpt from The Spinal Cord Injury Newsletter , Spring 1996 SYRINGOMYELIA AFTER SCI There are several types of SM, including SM that occurs after spinal cord injury. Research studies have examined the location, size, shape and type of cavity in many different cases. These studies have found that a syrinx that forms after a spinal cord injury almost always appears at the site of the original injury. The syrinx may also extend several spinal segments above or below the level of injury. The shape of cavities, as shown by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), is also variable. There may be one oblong cavity or a large cavity may have several oblong compartments that are connected. Or there may be several separate cavities that have nerve tissue between them. The ends of the cavities may have a round, bulb-like shape or may stretch down to a thin strand. Currently, SM is diagnosed following physical examination, history and progression of symptoms, and MRI of the spinal cord. The fluid-filled cavity usually shows up clearly on the MRI, revealing the size and location of the syrinx. It was generally believed that SM symptoms began long after the initial SCI, but recent studies suggest that syrinx-related symptoms may begin as early as two months after injury. TREATMENT The question of when and how to treat SM is not easy to answer, and different physicians take different approaches. Research studies do agree that it is important for the person with SM or suspected SM to find a physician who is knowledgeable about SM, including a neurosurgeon who has treated multiple cases of SM. A university hospital or rehabilitation clinic with an SCI unit is a reasonable place to start a physician search.

Other characters Syringomyelia, a slowly progressive disorder of the spinal cord, characterized by cavitary lesions in the central segments. 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 COMPREHENSIVE SPINE PROGRAM COMPREHENSIVE SPINE DIAGNOSES INDEX What is syringomyelia? Accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the spinal cord is a frequent finding in patients with Chiari I Malformation. Simple distention of the ependymal-lined central canal is classically termed hydromyelia. Dissection of CSF through the ependyma to form cavitation within the substance of the spinal cord is termed syringomyelia. The distinction between these two is not possible based upon imaging studies. Therefore the term syrinx, or syringohydromyelia, is used to describe any abnormal accumulation of CSF within the spinal cord. Extension upward into the brainstem is termed syringobulbia. What are the different types of syringomyelia? 1. Syringomyelia: associated with abnormalities of the foramen magnum (e.g. Chiari I malformation), retained rhombic roof, post surgical scar 2. Primary spinal syringomyelia: cyst arises in the cord substance without tonsillar descent; may be due to trauma, tumor, or arachnoiditis What are the symptoms of communicating syringomyelia?
