Syringomyelia is a chronic, slowly progressing disease of the nervous system that occurs in the result of a disruption in the laying of the neural tube during embryogenesis (during fetal formation in the womb mother).

Cavities are filled with cerebrospinal fluid and tend to grow in all directions. It turns out that inst...
The use of new diagnostic capabilities in medicine has influenced the identification of immediate causes of the series diseases, and, accordingly, the treatment tactics and the natural outcome and consequences on the background of the ongoing activities. So it was revealed that in the development of some demyelinating diseases of the nervous system play the role of infection (viruses, bacteria) and vaccines.
