Syringomyelia and syringobulbia - what does this mean
Syringomyelia and syringobulbia are neurological disorders caused by the obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, resulting in an accumulation of fluid in the spinal cord. this accumulation of fluid causes the tissue of the spinal cord to stretch and form a cyst, leading to pain, weakness, and other neurological symptoms.
What happens during the disease - syringomyelia and syringobulbia
Syringomyelia and syringobulbia are neurological disorders caused by a blockage of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) in the spinal canal. this blockage causes a fluid-filled cavity, called a syrinx, to form in the spinal cord. as the syrinx expands, it can damage the spinal cord and cause a range of symptoms, including pain, weakness, and loss of sensation in the limbs. in some cases, the blockage may be caused by a congenital malformation of the spine, while in others, it may be caused by a tumor or an injury to the spinal cord. treatment typically involves surgical removal of the blockage or shunt placement to divert the csf away from the spinal cord.
