Overview ; Syringomyelia is a condition in which a fluid-filled cyst called a syrinx forms within your spinal cord. The syrinx can get bigger and elongate over time, resulting in damage to your spinal cord and compression and injury of the nerve fibers that carry information from your brain to the rest of your body and vice versa. The fluid in the cyst is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fluid normally surrounds and protects your brain and spinal cord. CSF also fills connected cavities within the center of your brain called the ventricles, which ...
