R/O SYRINX: You need to R/O SYRINX a fluid collection at the base of the neck where your malformation is.located. YOU NEED TO BE EVALUATED ASAP With AN MRI AND MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT COMPRESSION OF THE SPINAL CORD. CALL YOUR DOCTOR AND MAKE SURE TO GET A NEUROSURGERY CONSULT AS WELL. BEST TO BE EVALUATED AT HOPKINS.
