Syringomyelia is defined as an abnormal fluid cavity inside the spinal cord. The fluid cavity can be thought of something like a blister, and causes pressure from the inside of the spinal cord. The pressure disrupts the normal function of the nerves that travel in that area of the spinal cord.he most common area for a syrinx to develop is in the cervical spine (neck), with the second most common in the thoracic spine. As the syrinx grows in size, it may cause scoliosis (abnormal curve of the spine), which is best evaluated by special x-rays of the spine.
