Abstract
The clinical picture of syringomyelia is characterized by central and peripheral pareses, sensory loss, trophic disturbances, and a pain syndrome. Pathologically, the syrinx often occupies the central gray matter of the cervical portion of the spinal cord. Today, the technique of MR imaging is capable of establishing the diagnosis with great accuracy [1].
