[Treatment of syringomyelia in patients with arachnopathy within craniovertebral junction].

Unlabelled: One of the causes of syringomyelia is arachnopathy following an infectious or non-infectious inflammation of the arachnoid membrane. It is extremely rare that adhesive arachnoiditis develops within the occipital cistern and impairs cerebrospinal fluid flow from the foramen of Magendie, along posterior cerebellar surface and into spinal subarachnoid space. These process result syringomyelia.

[Treatment of syringomyelia associated with Chiari 1 malformation].

Syringomyelia (SM) develops due to the disturbance of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, spinal fixation or a spinal tumor. The disturbance of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the area of the foramen magnum leads to the progression of SM in Chiari 1 malformation (CM1). CM1 is the most prevalent pathology of craniovertebral junction associated with SM.

Results of surgical treatment of syringomyelia associated with Chiari 1 malformation. An analysis of 125 cases.

Unlabelled: The rate of Chiari malformation (CM) in a population ranges from 3 to 8 per 100,000 population. In 62-80% of cases, CM is accompanied by the development of syringomyelia (SM) at various levels. The clinical picture in these patients is a combination of CM and SM manifestations; however, SM symptoms often prevail, which creates some problems in the diagnosis of the disease and in the choice of optimal treatment.
