Magnetic resonance imaging in the differentiation of spinal cord tumours and hydromyelia.
Twenty-two cases of intramedullary spinal tumours with cystic parts and 22 cases of hydrodynamic syringomyelia were classified according to criteria such as age at onset, duration of symptoms, nature of neurologic symptoms and a number of imaging parameters. The criteria used proved to be helpful in making the correct diagnosis.
