A member asked:
1) do prominent central canals look reminiscent of a syrinx / vice versa? is it hard to differentiate? 2) do prominent central canals grow in size?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can be confused: Growing symptomatic canals are syrinxes, prominent canals are usually asymptomatic incidental findings . hope that helps
