Webcast: Primary Spinal Syringomyelia (Syrinx not Caused by Chiari)
Presented by Dr. Ulrich Batzdorf for the American Syringomyelia & Chiari Alliance Project's 36th Annual Conference
Syringomyelia unrelated to Chiari abnormalities is less common and poses unique challenges to patients and physicians. Among other causes, it may occur after spine injuries, spinal infections and bleeding into the spinal canal. Obstruction of the normal spinal fluid circulation is the most common problem, and treatment is directed at relieving such blockage, although this is not always possible. In such cases, shunting the fluid out of the spinal cord remains an option.
Dr. Ulrich Batzdorf is a Professor of Neurosurgery at UCLA School of Medicine. His interest in Syringomyelia dates back to 1979, when he first became involved in the care of a patient with the condition. Dr. Batzdorf’s primary clinical and research focus is on the treatment of Chiari malformation and syringomyelia and spinal cord tumors. He is a coveted speaker on the disorders at medical conferences around the world.
