Excess cerebrospinal fluid in the central canal of the spinal cord is called hydromyelia. This term refers to increased cerebrospinal fluid that is contained within the ependyma of the central canal. When fluid dissects into the surrounding white matter forming a cystic cavity or syrinx, the term syringomyelia is applied. As these conditions ...
Dissociated sensory loss always suggests a focal lesion within the spinal cord or brainstem. [ citation needed ] The location of cord lesions affects presentation—for instance, a central lesion (such as that of syringomyelia ) will knock out second order neurons of the spinothalamic tract as they cross the centre of the cord, and will cause ...
