Chronic extradural compression of spinal cord leads to syringomyelia in rat model

ConclusionExtradural blockade of CSF flow can induce syringomyelia in rats. Temporary locomotor deficit occurred in some rats. This reproducible rat model of syringomyelia, which mimics syringomyelia in humans, can provide a good model for the study of disease mechanisms and therapies.
