Syringomyelia in the Tethered Spinal Cords.

Syringomyelia in the Tethered Spinal Cords. J Korean Neurosurg Soc. 2020 Apr 27;: Authors: Lee JY, Kim KH, Wang KC Abstract Cases of syringomyelia associated with spinal dysraphism are distinct from those associated with hindbrain herniation or arachnoiditis in terms of the suspected pathogenetic mechanism. The symptoms of terminal syringomyelia are difficult to differentiate from the symptoms caused by spinal dysraphism. Nonetheless, syringomyelia has important clinical implications, as it is an important sign of cord tethering. The postoperative assessment of syringomyelia should be performed with caution.
