“…Woods (1928) had earlier offered a similar explanation for the discovery of a syrinx and an ependymoma in a case that was surgically explored. Lichtenstein and Zeitlin (1937) thought that the syrinx was the residual from degeneration in a tumor mass.…”

Although cavitary lesions of the spinal cord have been recognized for centuries, only recently have effective, noninvasive imaging techniques allowed antemortem diagnosis of this clinical syndrome. Methods of treatment have not been consistently successful in alleviating or reversing the clinical symptoms caused by these cystic lesions. Incomplete understanding of the underlying pathologic basis for the syringes has impeded the development of effective methods of treatment. This review documents historical considerations regarding clinical observations and experimental studies of this entity and the animal models that have been reported for each of the major types of syringomyelia. Recent studies have suggested that development of a relevant animal model of posttraumatic syringomyelia is imminent. Successful development of an experimental model will not only permit definition of the pathogenesis of cyst formation but also provide methods for testing of therapeutic interventions.

Clinical analysis of cases of intramedullary gliomas of the spinal cord appears to have been neglected. The reason is probably that for the most part such growths represent hopeless surgical problems as compared with the extramedullary tumors of the spinal cord, by which they are greatly outnumbered. Yet an understanding of the characteristics of intramedullary tumors is obviously desirable, and it is largely for this reason that we have undertaken a review of 27 verified cases, with the purpose of correlating the pathologic and the clinical features in order to clarify their diagnostic characteristics. PATHOLOGIC FEATURESSince the growth history of intramedullary gliomas is closely connected with their clinical features, a brief consideration of their life cycle is pertinent.The incidence of intramedullary gliomas is variously estimated as 10 to 20 per cent of all tumors of the spinal cord.
