    Extractions: The Chiari Clinic Mission Who We Are Location ... Glossary Other terms for syringomyelia (pronounced sir-ing-o-my-eel-ya) often used include syrinx (see-rin-x), hydromyelia (hi-dro-my-eel-ya), syringohydromyelia, The spinal cord is connected to the lower part of the brain, called the brainstem. The spinal cord is a delicate (long, thin, sausage shaped) structure that rests within the spinal canal, and is surrounded by a tough outer covering, called the dura. Normally, the spinal cord ends at about the first or second lumbar vertebra in the adult. The spinal canal is surrounded and protected by the bony structure of the spinal column (or vertebra). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounds the spinal cord and travels from the brain, down the spinal canal and back up to the brain. Normally, there is no CSF within the structure of the spinal cord, instead, the fluid surrounds the cord. The function of the CSF is to bathe and nourish the brain and spinal cord. Many nerves originate from the spinal cord, and are responsible for movement and sensation of the arms, legs and areas of the torso. Syringomyelia was first described by Antione Portal, in 1803. He described a patient who experienced numbness and loss of function of the lower extremities. A cavity, called a syrinx, was found on autopsy examination of the spinal cord.

    Extractions: printer friendly SYRINGOMYELIA home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Syringomyelia refers to a cystic like change (syrinx) within the spinal cord. 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.

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Syringomyelia (sear-IN-go-my-EEL-ya) is a disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord. This cyst, called a syrinx, expands and elongates over time, destroying the center of the spinal cord. Since the spinal cord connects the brain to nerves in the extremities, this damage results in pain, weakness, and stiffness in the back, shoulders, arms, or legs. Other symptoms may include headaches and a loss of the ability to feel extremes of hot or cold, especially in the hands. Each patient experiences a different combination of symptoms. Other, more common disorders share the early symptoms of syringomyelia. In the past, this has made diagnosis difficult. The advent of one outpatient test, however, called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has significantly increased the number of syringomyelia cases diagnosed in the beginning stages of the disorder. About 21,000 American men and women have syringomyelia, with symptoms usually beginning in young adulthood. Signs of the disorder tend to develop slowly, although sudden onset may occur with coughing or straining. If not treated surgically, syringomyelia often leads to progressive weakness in the arms and legs, loss of hand sensation, and chronic, severe pain.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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?

    http://glaxocentre.merseyside.org/syring.html
    
    Extractions: The effects are very variable. The commonest symptoms are pain, often not explained for a long while, curvature of the spine, disruptions of joints, loss of feeling in the limbs, particularly loss of ability to feel heat, cold and pain sensations and wasting, weakness and clumsiness of the limbs. In the late stage of the most severe varieties of the disorder, swallowing or breathing may be affected and a proportion of patients become reduced to using a wheelchair. The commonest variety of Syringomyelia, the kind where the base of the brain is deformed, remains unexplained in the majority of cases. The elucidation of the cause of these deformities and also the way in which they cause the Syringomyelia cavities within the spine, requires further understanding.

    Extractions: TM A B C D ... What is the origin of the term, syringomyelia? WHAT IS IT? Syringomyelia is a rare condition in which long, fluid filled spaces are present in the central gray matter (a gray looking substance) of the spinal cord and surrounded by thick tissues made of glial cells . Glial cells maintain and support other cells. A cell is the smallest, most basic unit of life, that is capable of existing by itself. Because syringomyelia usually gets worse over time it is known as a progressive illness. WHAT DOES SYRINGOMYELIA LOOK LIKE? The long spaces in syringomyelia look like tubes in the spinal cord. It can also look like one big tube in the spinal cord. Here is an example of what syringomyelia looks like in this scan of the spine: WHAT CAUSES SYRINGOMYELIA? In syringomyelia, cerebrospinal fluid enters the spinal cord an forms an opening known as a syrinx. Cerebrospinal fluid is a cushiony fluid that protects the brain and spine. Over time, the opening gets bigger and longer, destroying the center of the spinal cord. Nerve fibers inside the spine can also get damaged.

    Extractions: Health Specialist Laura DiBattista finds patients need a lot of backbone to survive the onslaught of Syringomyelia. Chances are you’ve never heard of Syringomyelia. And if so, you’re one of the lucky ones. The debilitating spinal condition is progressive, and can eventually leave the sufferer paralyzed. “It refers to a cyst that forms in the spinal cord,” explains Neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Fehlings of Toronto Western Hospital. “It's a very serious condition that can result in paralysis, numbness, loss of function.” For Barbara Forrestall, who developed the condition after an auto accident, that can’t come too soon. “It’s constant pain that no pill can take away,” she laments. “I feel the pain … 24 hours a day. It would be amazing to be without pain for even one hour.” Dr. Fehling agrees more attention is needed to the problem. “Often the treatments are not very effective,” he acknowledges. “We really need improved medical research in this area.”

    Extractions: 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.
