More than a quarter of spinal cord injured patients develop syringes and many of these
patients suffer progressive neurological deficits as a result of cyst enlargement. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Alteration of CSF flow has been proposed to be an
important mechanism leading to the development of syringomyelia. We hypothesize that a …

Object The pathogenesis of syringomyelia in patients with an associated spinal lesion is
incompletely understood. The authors hypothesized that in primary spinal syringomyelia, a …

This study was conducted to determine whether local arterial pulsations are sufficient to
cause cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow along perivascular spaces (PVS) within the spinal cord …

As most patients who have suffered spinal cord injury can now expect a normal life span, the
late complications of these injuries are seen increasingly frequently. Regular surveillance of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Abnormal apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in
injured spinal cord white matter and fibroblast transplants have been shown to correspond …

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) provides data concerning water diffusion
in the spinal cord, from which white matter tracts may be inferred, and connectivity between …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) in
ex vivo spinal cord white matter, calculated from diffusion weighted MR (DWI) images …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent experimental data have shown that an increase of
excitatory amino acids and the initiation of inflammatory responses within the injured spinal …

U The pathophysiology of syrinx development is controversial. The authors report on a
patient with progressive cervical myelopathy and a Chiari I malformation in whom spinal …
