Syringomyelia

Posted By Robin Olsen on November 02, 1998 at 22:44:30:







I was diagnosed with Syringomyelia due to an Arnold Chiari 1.  I had a syrinix C1 to T8.  It collapsed during decompression surgery when they tried to put a shunt in.  It appears that another syrinx is now opening.  QUESTION:  Is Syringomyelia progressive?  In what way?  Is there a definite pattern?  Will I have to keep having surgeries to try and close there DAMM things.  How much damage do they have to do before the risks of surgery are woth it?  Thanks, Robin.
