Syrinxes (Syringomyelia) Not Related to Chiari Malformations - Michael Levy, MD - ASAP 2025

Syrinxes Not Related to Chiari Malformations Presented by: Michael Levy, MD The presence of syringomyelia is varied in patients with Chiari type 1 malformations ranging from approximately 35-70%. Additionally, the radiographic presence of a syrinx is not necessarily associated with any presenting signs or symptoms. The current talk will discuss syrinxes that are unrelated to Chiari malformations. I will define the various types of fluid accumulation within the spinal cord between syringomyelia and hydromyelia. I will additionally address the traumatic, atraumatic, and tumor-based origins of primary or acquired syrinx.
