[Discordant syringomyelia twins in familial syringomyelia]. 1986

R Malessa, and J Jörg

A case is reported of a pair of monozygous twins who were discordant for and their syringomyelia, and whose brother also suffered from this disease. On the basis of this extraordinarily rare constellation, the role of heredity and the possible importance of environmental factors in the manifestation of syringomyelia are discussed.

D013595	Syringomyelia	Longitudinal cavities in the spinal cord, most often in the cervical region, which may extend for multiple spinal levels. The cavities are lined by dense, gliogenous tissue and may be associated with SPINAL CORD NEOPLASMS; spinal cord traumatic injuries; and vascular malformations. Syringomyelia is marked clinically by pain and PARESTHESIA, muscular atrophy of the hands, and analgesia with thermoanesthesia of the hands and arms, but with the tactile sense preserved (sensory dissociation). Lower extremity spasticity and incontinence may also develop.

D014430	Twins, Monozygotic	Two off-spring from the same PREGNANCY. They are from a single fertilized OVUM that split into two EMBRYOS. Such twins are usually genetically identical and of the same sex.	Twins, Identical,Identical Twin,Identical Twins,Monozygotic Twin,Monozygotic Twins,Twin, Identical,Twin, Monozygotic
