This reference monograph provides an up-to-date account of the present state of understanding of syringomyelia and related disorders. The editors aim to document the best clinical practice in diagnosis and treatment and to provide clear guidance on how to reduce the incidence of severe outcomes. New challenges are addressed, including the appropriate management of the increasing number of apparently idiopathic syrinx cavities that are detected. In addition, controversies ... Read more

Reviews for Syringomyelia
“This is a great textbook on syringomelia in children and adults. Etiology, mechanisms, biomechanical modeling, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and complications are described in depth for both the researcher and neurosurgeon alike. … The embryonic origins of neurulation and spinal cord differentiation are good also with some new insights.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2015)
