Abstract
Full explanation for the formation and pathogenesis of syringomyelia (SM), a neurological pathology characterized by the formation of a cystic cavity (syrinx) in the center of the spinal cord (SC), has not yet been given. The SM pathology forms a coaxial elastic tube system with the inner tube formed by the spinal cord having a syrinx and the outer tube formed by the spinal column (dura and vertebrae).
