Description/Definition[edit | edit source]
Syringobulbia is a rare neurological disorder characterized by a fluid-filled cavity called syrinx within the spinal cord that extends to involve the caudal portion of the brainstem (especially the medulla). The sensory and motor neurons can be affected due to this interruption. This disorder can be associated with Syringomyelia (syrinx is limited to spinal cord) and Arnold-Chiari Malformation 1. “Communicating” syringomyelia/syringobulbia refers to cavities with direct communication with the fourth ventricle
