Syringomyelia is a condition in which a cavity forms in the spinal cord and fills with cerebrospinal fluid, the liquid that cushions your brain and spinal cord. The condition is often caused when a Chiari malformation blocks the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid-filled cavity is also known as a syrinx.
Children with Syringomyelia are treated by our faculty providers at Seattle Children’s.
