Abstract
- Authors describe 10 cases of syringomyelia. Metrizamide myelogram and spine CT were done in all cases and 6-8 hours delayed CT and MRI were done in 8 cases. Syrinx cavity was noticed as a low intensity signal within the isodense spinal core in T1 weighted image of MRI. Syringosubarachnoid shunt, foramen magnum decompression or total removal with associated cord tumor were done in 7 cases with good results.
