Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Description : Syringomyelia (Greek: 'syrinx,' pipe, and 'myelos,' marrow) is a tubular cavity in
the spinal cord. It can occur sporadically in association with spinal cord tumors,
inflammatory arachnoiditis, or posttraumatically. It is rarely idiopathic (less than
1% of cases). The vast majority of cases of syringomyelia are cervical, noncommunicating,
and associated with an abnormality at the foramen magnum, particularly the Chiari
malformation type I (CM1; 118420), as well as basilar impression (109500) and Dandy-Walker
malformation (220200) (Speer et al., 2003; Levine, 2004); these cases have shown familial
segregation.;
