Abstract
Objective: to study the basic characteristics of changes revealed by MRI in patients with syringomyelia associated arachnopathy before and after surgery.
Materials and methods. MRI was performed in 58 pat ients with syringomyelia before and after surgery in period from 2013 to 2016.
Results. The diagnosis “syringomyelia” was approved in 41 patients. There was huge regression (more than 50% of volume) of syringomyelia cavity in 17 (41.4%) patients. In 20 (48.7%) patients marked decrease in size syringomyelia cavity (less than 50%), the volume expansion of the front and rear of cerebrospinal fluid spaces.
Conclusions. The use of modern MRI Protocol in various types of syringomyelia allows not only to detect and give a comprehensive feature cavities, but also to detect adhesions, location and length, as well as to assess the dynamics of the disease after surgical treatment.
