title: [Skin changes in syringomyelia].
abstract: Asymmetric anonychia, skin edema, and painless ulceration of the fingers may be the first symptoms of syringomyelia. Neurologic examination of the patient leads to the diagnosis, which can be proved by the demonstration of the cavity in the central spinal cord. Prophylactic dermatologic treatment may prevent the progression of the skin lesions.
