• #1 Syringomyelia Information | Mount Sinai – New York

  https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/diseases-conditions/syringomyelia

  Syringomyelia is a cyst-like collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that forms in the spinal cord. Over time, it may damage the spinal cord. […] There is no known effective treatment for syringomyelia. The goals of treatment are to stop the spinal cord damage from getting worse and to improve function. […] Medicines and devices can help with pain. […] Surgery may be needed to relieve pressure in the spinal cord. Physical and occupational therapy may be needed to improve muscle function and help maximize independence. […] Without treatment, the disorder may get worse very slowly. Over time, it may cause severe disability. […] Surgery usually stops the condition from getting worse. Nervous system function will improve in about 30% of the people who have surgery. […] Contact your provider if you have symptoms of syringomyelia. […] There is no known way to prevent this condition, other than avoiding injuries to the spinal cord. Getting treated right away slows the worsening due to this disorder.

  Syringomyelia is a condition in which a syrinx (a cyst, or collection of fluid) forms in the spinal cord. […] A syrinx can compress the nerves of the spinal cord. Specific symptoms depend on where the syrinx is located and how much it compresses the nerves. Possible symptoms include weakness of hands and arms, numbness to temperature, pain in the back and neck, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), stiffness, pain, and incontinence. Symptoms usually appear gradually. […] In many cases, a syrinx causes no symptoms and may need no treatment. But if the syrinx causes problems such as injury to the spinal cord or progressive scoliosis, it must be treated surgically. […] The following courses of treatment are options in treating syringomyelia: Treat the underlying cause. In the cases where hydrocephalus or Chiari malformation are causing the syrinx, the surgeon will treat the underlying cause and the syrinx will usually shrink or disappear. For patients with spinal cord tumors, removal of the tumor will usually also result in resolution of the syrinx.

• #3 Syringomyelia | Altru Health System

  https://www.altru.org/health-library/conditions/syringomyelia

  Syringomyelia (sih-ring-go-my-E-lee-uh) is the development of a fluid-filled cyst within the spinal cord. The cyst, which is sometimes called a syrinx, can grow larger over time. When it does, it can damage the spinal cord and cause pain, weakness and stiffness. […] If syringomyelia doesn’t cause problems, monitoring the condition might be all that’s necessary. But if the symptoms are bothersome, surgery might be needed. […] Treatment for syringomyelia depends on how bad the symptoms are and the size of the syrinx. […] If syringomyelia isn’t causing symptoms, it may not need treatment. Your healthcare professional may check it from time to time with MRI and neurological exams. […] Surgery may be needed if syringomyelia is causing symptoms that get in the way of your life, or if symptoms rapidly worsen.

• #4 CE Activity | Syringomyelia | Nurses

  https://www.statpearls.com/nurse/ce/activity/104272

  Syringomyelia is a condition characterized by abnormal cerebrospinal fluid circulation, leading to the formation of fluid-filled cavities (syrinx) within the spinal cord parenchyma or central canal. This condition is often associated with Chiari malformation type 1 (CM-1) but can also result from various factors such as spinal cord tumors, trauma, or infectious adhesive arachnoiditis. Syringomyelia commonly presents with sensory symptoms such as pain and temperature insensitivity and is frequently discovered incidentally due to the widespread use of MRI in assessing back and neck pain. The natural history of patients with syringomyelia is variable and unpredictable, with periods of stability and progression. […] Managing symptoms involves avoiding triggers such as straining or neck flexion to reduce venous pressure and alleviate symptoms, thereby highlighting the necessity for an interdisciplinary approach to treat and care for patients with syringomyelia. This activity focuses on addressing the presentation, evaluation, and management of syringomyelia in the affected patients. This activity also explores the interprofessional collaboration of the healthcare team in caring for patients affected by this condition. […] Collaborate with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes and coordinate comprehensive care plans for individuals with syringomyelia.

• #5 Pediatric Syringomyelia | PM&R KnowledgeNow

  https://now.aapmr.org/pediatric-syringomyelia/

  Syringomyelia is a condition caused by a fluid-filled cavity, or syrinx, which forms within the spinal cord. […] In the pediatric population, syringomyelia usually occurs in the setting of congenital abnormalities, which may result in complex medical and rehabilitation needs that require a multidisciplinary approach to care. […] The most common etiology of syringomyelia in both adult and pediatric patients is Chiari I malformation, representing 48-50% of adult cases and 43.2% of pediatric cases. […] Syringomyelia usually develops around age four to seven after surgical repair of the defect during the neonatal period. […] When surgery is indicated, the goal is restoration of normal CSF flow dynamics with different techniques dependent on etiology. […] Care of this complex condition requires coordination with the following: Primary physician, Physiatrist, Neurosurgeon, Orthopedic surgeon, Therapists, Psychiatrist/psychologist, Social worker/case manager, Third-party payers. […] Families must be aware of symptoms to monitor and bring to medical attention, which could indicate progression and the need for intervention. Education and training in skin protection and bowel/bladder care are essential.

  https://www.mhsystem.org/health-library/con-20209449/

  Syringomyelia symptoms usually develop slowly over time. […] If syringomyelia is caused by brain tissue pushing into the spinal canal, it is called a Chiari malformation. Symptoms generally begin between ages 25 and 40. […] If you have any of the symptoms associated with syringomyelia, see your healthcare professional. […] Treatment for syringomyelia depends on how bad the symptoms are and the size of the syrinx. […] If syringomyelia isn’t causing symptoms, it may not need treatment. Your healthcare professional may check it from time to time with MRI and neurological exams. […] Surgery may be needed if syringomyelia is causing symptoms that get in the way of your life, or if symptoms rapidly worsen.

  Objective: To describe the imaging findings of a patient with spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia. […] The patient received conservative care for many years with little improvement. […] In 2021, the patient noticed an improvement in the frequency and intensity of his symptoms and sought another round of MR imaging, which revealed a complete spontaneous resolution of the syringomyelia. […] Spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia is an uncommon event. […] Complete spontaneous resolution is an uncommon occurrence and is not traceable to a specific intervention or therapy. […] While surgery is the most common intervention for reduction of syringomyelia, it is not the only solution. Conservative management is the recommended treatment for syringomyelia in absence of surgical indicators such as disrupted flow of cerebrospinal fluid, enlargement of the syrinx over time, and progressive neurologic deficits.
