A member asked:

Bit of a weird one. been diagnosed with idiopathic syringomyelia c5-c7 after mri scans. but all symptoms point to hemiplegic migranes. ever seen this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: These are separate, likely totally unrelated issues, but there is no reason they can't be seen in the same patient. I had a 15 yo kid that did something very similar.
