What are my chances of getting post traumatic syringomyelia?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dificult: Post traumatic syringomyelia can happen after a sudden deceleration injury to the spine. It is not frequent but is seen usually years after the accident as an incidental finding on an mri. Most have no symptoms.
