   What are the symptoms of syringomyelia?

   • If syringomyelia is caused by brain tissue pushing into the spinal canal, it is called a Chiari malformation. Symptoms generally begin between ages 25 and 40. In some cases, coughing or straining can trigger symptoms of syringomyelia, although neither causes syringomyelia. Syringomyelia might affect the back, shoulders, arms or legs.

The damage may result in loss of feeling, paralysis, weakness, and stiffness in the back, shoulders, and extremities. Syringomyelia may also cause a loss of the ability to feel extremes of hot or cold, especially in the hands.

   What is syringomyelia?

   • Syringomyelia is a rare disease in which a fluid-filled cyst, or syrinx, forms in the spinal cord. Over time, the syrinx can grow and compress on the spinal cord, which can interfere with the body's ability to send information to and from the brain.

   How does syringomyelia develop?

   • In syringomyelia, the watery liquid known as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—which surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord—builds up within the tissue of the spinal cord, expands the central canal, and then forms a syrinx. Generally, a syrinx develops when the normal flow of CSF around the spinal cord or lower brain stem is disturbed.

   Can syringomyelia cause a headache?

   • A person with syringomyelia should avoid straining activities (such as lifting heavy objects or jumping) since these actions can trigger symptoms. If a person has an associated Chiari malformation, they may experience a headache with straining. The goal of surgery for syringomyelia is to eliminate the syrinx and prevent further spinal cord injury.
