    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Syringomyelia is a descriptive term for spinal cord cavities, not a distinct disease.
    • Symptoms vary based on the syrinx's location, size, and extent.
    • It is an increasingly recognized cause of neurological disability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the etiology, pathophysiology, imaging, and treatment of syringomyelia.
    • To highlight the impact of advanced diagnostic and surgical techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review focusing on syringomyelia.
    • Discussion of diagnostic modalities, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
    • Overview of current surgical decompression strategies.
