In a retrospective study of 62 cases of syringomyelia, spanning thirteen years, we investigated the diagnostic value of the different imaging techniques, and the outcome of the several forms of therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging appears to be the examination of choice, being most informative and least invasive. When surgical treatment is indicated, syringoperitoneal shunting will stabilize or improve the condition in a substantial number of cases. Indications for the other surgical procedures are discussed.
在一项对62例脊髓空洞症患者进行的为期13年的回顾性研究中，我们调查了不同成像技术的诊断价值以及几种治疗方式的效果。磁共振成像似乎是首选检查方法，它提供的信息最多且侵入性最小。当需要进行手术治疗时，脊髓空洞 - 腹腔分流术在相当多的病例中能稳定病情或使其改善。文中还讨论了其他手术方法的适应症。
