| dc.description.abstract | Syringomyelia is a disorderinvolving the spinal cord which is abnormal accumulation of CSF inthe spinal cord . Pathologically, it ischaracterized by the presence of longitudinally orientedcavities and gliosis. Theterm "hydromyelia" has been used to describe the appearance ofdilatation of thecentral canal of the spinal cord while the term "syringomyelia" has beenreservedfor cavities independent of the central canal .From a practical viewpoint, it isimpossibleto differentiate most cases of true hydromyelia from those of truesyringomyelia. Consequently,recent literature tends to unite the twotermssyringohydromyelia or to use the terms"syringomyelia" or "syrinx," in a generic sense to refer to the spectrum of disease that is involvedwithout implying endorsement of a specific pathogeneses hypothesisSyringohydromelia .caused [associated] with the Chiary malformations.traumaticsyringomyelia,idiopathic syringomyelia, and syringomyelia associated with tumors and associated withcervicalspondilosis Objective:To determine common site of spinal cord syrnix on clients who has syrinx on MRITo describe Causes of syringomelia and associated lesions on pediatric ageTo asses syringomeia and associated lesions on adult Method:The design of the study will be prospectivecohort studyThe study will be conducted on patients 50 patients on selected hospital in Addis Ababa on patients who had spinal and if available brain MRI to study associated lesion compared with each and associated lesion The data collected through organized questionnaire The collected data analyzed using SPSS version 20 software and interpretation of the data will be donev Results:CM-I wasthe most frequent associated condition (present in 14 patients [28%]), followed by spinal tumor (11[22%]) from which( 2[4%])had associated kyphoscolosis,post traumatic (4[8%])from post traumatic (3[6%] had associated kypho-scoliosis ,chiary II (4[8%]),chiary III(3[6%])and only kypho-scolosis (3[6%]) see table 1.No associated brain or spinal cordcondition wasfound in 3patients (6%), and syringesin these patients were considered idiopathic. The otherdiagnosis are (2 [4%])patients had diastomatomelia, two(2[4%]) tethered cord and one kyphosis(1[2%])and one infectious cause (1[2%]) There are also two patient had multiple diagnosiskyphoscolosis with diastomatomelia (1[2%]) and kyphoscolosis with tethered cord at L3vertebra (1[2%]) Conclusion:Syrinx location within the spinal canal also differed according to associated condition Syringes associated with CM-I, CM-II, or CM III had a more superior cranial extent, usually in the cervical spine. Syringes associated with tethered cord and spinal dysraphism were more likely to have their cranial and caudal extents located more caudally The incidence of kypho scoliosis did not differ significantly by associated condition, with theexception that patients with chiarymalformation were less likely to have scoliosis on our study | en_US |
