title: Noncommunicating syringomyelia in multiple sclerosis: detection by magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: We report 3 patients in whom multiple sclerosis appeared to be complicated by noncommunicating syringomyelia. Despite modest or minimal signs of myelopathy, each patient had cavitary spinal cord lesions detected with MRI. MS may be associated with noncommunicating syringomyelia.
