ABSTRACT
Syringomyelia is a condition that presents within the spinal cord. A major problem that can arise in patients with syringomyelia is the development of lower urinary tract disorder. Although syringomyelia is difficult to diagnose, it often presents a number of identifiable signs that can be found when working with a patient. The most common signs are paresthesia, walking incapacity, cervical or cephalic pain, vertigo, motor deficiency of a limb, and so on. A secondary syringomyelia has the potential to form due to a few known causes: arachnoiditis, tumors, or overall post-traumatic condition. The two main steps in the development of secondary syringomyelia involve the formation of a cavity and the resulting cavity's extension. Pain is the most common symptom associated with syringomyelia. The pain often localized to the affected area of the spinal cord; however, the pain may also radiate from its origin due to strain and pressure on the spinal cord.
