A member asked:
I had avm in april 2013 and was without treatment for 4 days before it was embolism. now mri is showing syringomylia :( what surgery is needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DISCUSSION: Not all syringes require surgery, and many exist clinically silent. Intervention is based on signs of weakness or loss of sensation with particular focus on legs bowel and bladder function. A neurosurgeon can guide potential surgical choices if necessary, but medical neurologist can manage if non-surgical.
