چکیده

Acute cord cavities have been produced by injection of saline or cerebrospinal fluid into the spinal cords of five beagle dogs. The lesions resemble syringomyelia as seen in the human. The lesions are described and the significance of the findings in supporting a hydrodynamic concept for communicating syringomyelia in the human are discussed.

Syringomyelia affecting the entire spinal cord secondary to primary spinal intramedullary central nervous system lymphoma.

A case of syringomyelia involving the entire spinal cord secondary to a spinal intramedullary tumour is described. Cerebrospinal fluid cytology and microscopic evaluation of gross necropsy specimens revealed a primary large cell lymphoma of the central nervous system. In addition there was massive leptomenigeal lymphomatosis involving the cortex, brainstem, and cerebellum. No solitary intracran...

Effect of spinal cord stretching due to head flexion on intramedullary pressure.

The effect of the longitudinal stretching force of the spinal cord on intramedullary pressure was investigated using our method for measuring intramedullary pressure of the spinal cord with implanted balloons. The transverse compressive force against the posterior wall of the spinal column was excluded by measuring the intramedullary pressure during flexion of the head with the middle and lower...

Intramedullary cystic lesions of the conus medullaris.

Intramedullary cystic lesions of the conus medullaris are rare. Although an extensive literature describes syringomyelia as being a frequent basis for cystic cervico-thoracic lesions it is apparent that this does not occur frequently in the lumbosacral region (Kirgis and Echols, 1949; Netsky, 1953; Rand and Rand, 1960; Love and Olafson, 1966). Poser (1956), in a review of 234 cases of syringomy...

Characteristics of cerebrospinal fluid flow in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels analyzed using phase velocity cine magnetic resonance imaging.

Syringomyelia is an important morbidity source in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Although abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow secondary to Chiari malformations is thought to cause syringomyelia in humans, this relationship is unknown in dogs. We used phase-contrast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to evaluate CSF flow in dogs. Fifty-nine Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were assigned a neurol...

Delayed CT metrizamide enhancement of syringomyelia secondary to tumor.

Six cases of syringomyelia associated with intramedullary tumor were examined by metrizamide myelography and delayed computed tomography. All cases showed opacification of syringomyelic cavities 7-24 hr after myelography. This finding suggests that metrizamide can pass through the cord substance from the subarachnoid space into a syrinx cavity in noncommunicating types of syringomyelia. It supp...
