Atypische Formen der Syringomyelie - ein kasuistischer Beitrag

: The introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made the diagnosis of syringomyelia safer and more exact. Moreover, the lack of correlation between the clinical picture and the MRI findings was demonstrated, and unsuspected cases could be identified as pertaining to syringomyelia. The three cases reported should point at the variable symptomatology in syringomyelia. A more frequent occurrence of unusual symptoms and courses of the disease than previously assumed is discussed.
