A member asked:
Can a syrinx located in the thoracic spine cause symptoms higher up or are the symptoms strictly limited to where the syrinx is and below?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dermatomes: The thoracic spine covers dermatomes T1 to T12. This is from the clavicle to pelvis. You are correct though the syrinx should only effect neurological function at the spinal level of the syrinx and below.
