DEFINITION
Types of Syringomyelia
Communicating Noncommunicating
Chiari I malformation Occult spinal dysraphism
Chiari II malformation Spinal cord trauma
Basilar arachnoiditis Spinal cord tumor
Spinal arachnoiditis
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
when the systolic CSF flow through the foramen magnum and the outflow from the 4th ventricle were
obstructed, ventricular CSF was forced into the central canal with each arterial pulse. This dilated the
central canal and eventually resulted in syringomyelia.
CLASSIFICATION OF SYRINGOMYELIA
Symptomatic Treatment
Medications can be used to manage presenting symptoms but
they do not treat the syringomyelia it self.
Surgical Treatment
Shunting
Shunting of the syrinx cavity can be performed using
syringoperitoneal, syringopleural, syringosubarachnoid, or
ventriculoperitoneal shunts.
