A Central Nervous System Enigma: Investigating the Pathophysiology, Diagnostic Imaging Modalities, and Comprehensive Management Strategies for Syringomyelia
Syringomyelia is a chronic disorder characterized by the development of a fluid-filled cavity, or syrinx, within the spinal cord, which can expand over time and damage the central nerve fibers that carry sensory and motor information. This progressive cavitation leads to a variety of neurological symptoms, including pain, muscle weakness, loss of temperature sensation, and chronic disability, primarily affecting the neck, shoulders, and upper extremities.
