Prognosis Syringomyelia is a rare condition in which there is fluid-filled tubular cyst (syrinx) within the central, usually cervical, spinal cord. [patient.info]

The prognosis depends on the course of the underlying lesion. ‏ [books.google.com]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Abstract The treatment of syringobulbia requires a precise diagnosis of the etiology. This allows a surgical procedure directed at treating the underlying etiology or decompressing the hindbrain. In most cases, symptoms can be greatly improved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Syringomyelia Treatment is Based on Etiology Asymptomatic syringomyelia patients with small syrinx cavities and no obvious etiology are best managed with watchful waiting and serial imaging exams. [csfinfo.org]

Although post-traumatic syringomyelia has been wieldy described previously, traumatic brain injury has not been reported as the mechanism and etiology of isolated syringobulbia. [beat-journal.com]

MRI detection of syringomyelia has led to earlier treatment of syringomyelia and prevention of upward extension of the cavity. This probably explains why syringobulbia is less frequently encountered at present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In such cases, radiologic evaluation and early surgical drainage of the cyst as a means of preventing significant delayed neurologic deficit is advocated. [tandfonline.com]
