Abstract
Description
Syringomyelia
Tumor-associated fluid-filled cavity within the spinal cord as syringomyelia or syrinx.
Syrinx occurs with 25 to 58% of patients with IMSCT, and in this association, syringes appear more commonly in the lower cervical and upper thoracic region.
They occur most frequently with ependymomas, followed by hemangioblastomas and cavernomas.²
