The central canal of the spinal cord may be widened. [1] A fluid-filled lesion forms, known as a syrinx. [1] This can vary in size significantly between patients. [1] Nerve fibres may be compressed where they cross the midline, or in other parts of the spinal cord. [1] Cranial nerves may be affected. [3]
The central canal (also known as spinal foramen or ependymal canal) is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs through the spinal cord. [1] The central canal lies below and is connected to the ventricular system of the brain , from which it receives cerebrospinal fluid, and shares the same ependymal lining.
The cerebral aqueduct, as other parts of the ventricular system of the brain, develops from the central canal of the neural tube, and it originates from the portion of the neural tube that is present in the developing mesencephalon, hence the name "mesencephalic duct."
Cerebrospinal fluid fills the syrinx. Pressure differences along the spine cause the fluid to move within the cyst. Physicians believe that it is this continual movement of fluid that results in cyst growth and further damage to the spinal cord. In the case of syringomyelia, the syrinx can expand and elongate over time, destroying the spinal ...
The Santa Fe Terminal Complex is an 18-acre (73,000 m 2) complex of historic buildings in the Government District of downtown Dallas, Texas ().Constructed in 1924 as the headquarters for the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway and the Southwest's largest merchandising center, three of the original four buildings remain today and have been renovated into various uses.

Dallas Landmark is a designation by the City of Dallas and the Dallas Landmark Commission for historic buildings and districts in Dallas, Texas, United States.Listed sites are selected after meeting a combination of criteria, including historical, economic, architectural, artistic, cultural, and social values.
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 ...
