Syringomyelia is the chronic progressive disease which etiology has still been discussed. The diagnosis and differential diagnosis of all SM types using magnetic resonance as specific and most sensitive method of examination have been presented in the study for the first time in our country. In two-year period since the introduction of this examination method in our Institute we examined 25 patients with 3 primary congenital and 22 with secondary SM, among whom 15 had post-traumatic and 7 had traumatic forms. All the changes characteristic for syringomyelia in neuroradiologic diagnosis were described in details. Magnetic resonance is primary and superior neuroradiologic method in all spinal processes for the discovery of neurologic, undefined myelopathic changes, such as SM. The methods of micro-surgical operative treatment are not the subject of this study.
脊髓空洞症是一种病因仍在探讨的慢性进行性疾病。本研究在我国首次介绍了使用磁共振作为所有类型脊髓空洞症特异性和最敏感检查方法的诊断及鉴别诊断。自我院引入这种检查方法的两年时间里，我们检查了25例脊髓空洞症患者，其中3例为原发性先天性脊髓空洞症，22例为继发性脊髓空洞症，后者中15例为创伤后脊髓空洞症，7例为外伤性脊髓空洞症。详细描述了神经放射学诊断中脊髓空洞症的所有特征性改变。在所有脊柱病变中，磁共振是发现诸如脊髓空洞症这类神经学上未明确的脊髓病性改变的主要且优越的神经放射学方法。显微外科手术治疗方法不是本研究的主题。
