Primary syringomyelia is a rare neurological disorder in which a cyst, or syrinx, forms within the spinal cord. This cyst can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, weakness, and stiffness in the back, shoulders, arms, and legs. In some cases, it can also cause problems with bladder and bowel control. Primary syringomyelia is usually caused by a blockage in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the spinal cord. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as surgery to remove the blockage and allow the CSF to flow freely.

The most common symptoms of primary syringomyelia include:

-Pain in the neck, shoulders, back, and arms
-Weakness and Stiffness in the arms and legs
-Loss of sensation in the hands and feet
-Loss of reflexes
-Loss of bladder and bowel control
-Scoliosis
-Headaches
-Balance problems
-Fatigue

Primary syringomyelia is caused by a blockage of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the spinal cord. This blockage can be caused by a variety of factors, including a congenital malformation of the brain or spinal cord, a tumor, an infection, or an injury.

The primary treatment for primary syringomyelia is surgical decompression of the spinal cord. This involves removing the pressure on the spinal cord by removing the cyst and any other obstructions. Other treatments may include medications to reduce inflammation, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. In some cases, a shunt may be placed to drain the cyst and reduce pressure on the spinal cord.

1. Genetic predisposition
2. Spinal cord trauma
3. Spinal cord tumors
4. Spinal cord infections
5. Arnold-Chiari malformation
6. Spinal cord vascular malformations
7. Spinal cord inflammation
8. Spinal cord cysts
9. Spinal cord dysraphism
10. Spinal cord compression

There is no cure for primary syringomyelia, but medications can be used to help manage symptoms. These medications may include muscle relaxants, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatory drugs. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to help relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
