[The role of magnetic resonance tomography in diagnosis of syringomyelia].
The paper presents the analysis of the results of the examination of 90 patients with syringomyelia using magnetic-resonance "Bruker" tomograph with the intensity of the magnetic field 0.23 T. The observation was carried out according to the authors' classification. Symptom complex of syringomyelia corresponding to the anatomic disorders of the spinal cord was described. The authors made a conclusion, that the magnetic-resonance tomography, as the most informative method, was a method of choice in syringomyelia. In 21% of the patients there was idiopathic syringomyelia; in 47.3% a process spread to the caudal regions of medulla oblongata. In 79% cases syringomyelia manifested as a syndrome; in 50% of the total cases it was found in Arnold--Chiari anomaly.
