F Schneider

It is tried to summarize the different opinions concerning the pathogenesis, radiobiology and techniques of irradiation in the treatment of syringomyelia. The results obtained at the Radiotherapeutic Clinic of the University of Vienna are reported. Between 1969 and 1974 a total of 25 patients with this disease were treated with doses of 500 to 1500 rd SD. In 15 patients (60%) an improvement of symptoms occurred. Long time remissions could be observed in six out of 11 patients.

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.
