When patients with syringomyelia fail to improve after operation, factors such as incomplete cyst decompression or type of operation are often implicated. MRI has been used to confirm adequate syrinx decompression post-operatively and to compare the degree of collapse with the type of operation. Foramen magnum decompression was at least as effective in reducing cyst size as syringo-subarachnoid shunting. MRI may also provide a better classification of syringomyelia.
当脊髓空洞症患者术后病情未改善时，往往涉及诸如囊肿减压不完全或手术类型等因素。MRI已被用于术后确认脊髓空洞是否得到充分减压，并比较不同手术类型导致的囊肿塌陷程度。枕骨大孔减压在减小囊肿大小方面至少与脊髓空洞 - 蛛网膜下腔分流术同样有效。MRI还可能对脊髓空洞症进行更好的分类。
