  • Title: [Magnetic resonance tomography in syringomyelia].
    Author: Köhler D, Treisch J, Hertel G, Schörner W, Fiegler W.
    Journal: Rofo; 1985 Dec; 143(6):617-22. PubMed ID: 3001850.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen patients with a clinical diagnosis of syringomyelia were examined by nuclear tomography (0.35 T magnet) in the spin-echo mode. In all thirteen patients, the T1 images (SE 400/35) showed a longitudinal cavity with a signal intensity of CSF. The shape and extent of the syrinx could be adequately demonstrated in 12 of the 13 examinations. Downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils was seen in eight cases. The examination took between half and one hour. Advantages of magnetic resonance tomography (nuclear tomography) include the absence of artifacts, images in the line of the lesion and its non-invasiveness.
