   Congenital causes of syringomyelia. The majority of syringomyelia cases are associated with Chiari malformation type 1, which occurs when the lower part of your cerebellum extends into the hole (the foramen magnum) at the base of your skull. The spinal cord normally passes through this hole. This structural issue obstructs the normal flow of CSF.

Spinal cord injuries, spinal cord tumors, and damage caused by inflammation around the spinal cord may cause syringomyelia.
