Daarbij heb ik syringomyelie en Chiari misvorming vermeld als aandoeningen waarbij deze processen gestoord zijn. Vandaag bespreek ik in detail de ziekten syringomyelie en Chiari misvorming. SYRINGOMYELIE Definitie De term omsluit een nogal brede waaier van ziekten zodanig dat er soms over verschillende zaken gesproken wordt als men het woord syringomyelie gebruikt. Hier ziet men een syrinx. Dat woord is het Grieks voor rietstengel of buis. Een syrinx is inderdaad zoals een rietstengel samengesteld uit stukken holle buis, soms met elkaar verbonden en soms met tussenschotten. Myelum is ruggenmerg. Syringomyelie is dus een buisvormige holte in het ruggenmerg.

Congenital hydrocephalus... can be traced to a birth defect or brain malformation
In 1983, at the age of 13, I acquired hydrocephalus when I was hit in the head by a baseball. It was a freak accident.
The term "communicating hydrocephalus" means that the site of increased resistance to CSF drainage resides outside of the ventricular system in the subarachnoid space.
Non-communicating, or obstructive, hydrocephalus is caused when there is an obstruction in the flow of CSF within the ventricular system of the brain.
Hydrocephalus is often associated with Dandy-Walker syndrome, neural tube defects, and spinal bifida.
CSF is constantly being produced, flowing through, bathing, protecting, and cleansing the structures of your brain....
To communicate effectively with neurosurgeons, patients who have hydrocephalus need to become familiar with the basic structures of the brain. The effect that hydrocephalus has on an area of the body greatly depends on where the blockage or abnormal accumulation of CSF is located. Hydrocephalus occurs when there is an obstruction of one of the ventricles or ventricular foramina (CSF passageways) that restricts the flow of CSF

    Pediatric Radiology Residency Curriculum
    From: Dr. Faridali G. Ramj i; Pediatric Radiologist/Assistant Professor
    Children's Hospital Of Oklahoma, OUHSC
    Date:July 11th, 2000
    There are two parts to this curriculum:
    1:The first part (PAGES 5-16) is the actual curriculum in pediatric radiology for diagnostic radiology residents, which was compiled by The Society of Pediatric Radiology and has been published in the Pediatric Radiology Journal, 1995; 25: 403-407, and also on the internet in the public domain. This has been retyped) and arranged in sections: Cardiovascular System; Gastrointestinal System; Genitourinary System; Neuroradiology; Chest and Airway; and Musculoskeletal System. This is an excellent overview by systems and it is very important to read around each of the topics and to be very familiar about it.
    Please ask Dr. Faridali G. Ramj i ( or Gina Laws) for a copy of the second part of this paper for the case numbers. They are not part of the web site as this time There is no doubt you will find some errors and thus I would sincerely hope that I can get some feed back on this large document, typed in entirety by myself. If there is any oversight in any sections or parts, then please bring it to my attention so that this can be revised in the future. Thank you and good luck.

    Close communication and mutual learning between different medical professionals is essential in pediatric CNS diseases to accommodate increasing knowledge, integrate specialization and best use rapidly expanding imaging potential. We will supply some material and answers to central questions in 3 selected fields of pediatric spinal diseases: trauma, tumor and tethered cord. Selected questions are: (1) which embryologic and biomechanical knowledge is necessary for performing an adequate study? (2) what does the surgeon want to know from imaging modalities? (3) What does the radiologist need to understand from principles of surgical treatment? (4) Which of the neurosurgeon's questions can or cannot be answered by the radiologist? (5) Which MR-techniques are most helpful? Representative pediatric spinal MR-studies will be presented in their clinical context using basic principles and interactive neurosurgical - neuroradiological discussion. [ presentation ] [ index ]

Spinal cord cavitation is a frequent finding in optic neuromyelitis (Devic's syndrome) (DS) but it is also, although rarely, observed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The objective of our study was to compare the MRI characteristics of the syringomyelic cavities in 6 patients with DS and 3 patients with MS. All the patients with DS had a relapsing clinical form with normal brain MRI. Spinal MRI revealed unenhanced central cavities which extended more than 3 vertebral bodies and remained unchanged in follow-up studies. Two patients presented multiple cavities.MS patients suffered a relapsing remitting form of the disease, they all had hyperintense T2 enhancing lesions on their spinal MRI. Moreover spinal MRI also revealed non communicating cavities which extended less than 2 vertebral bodies.

    Abstract
    Chiari I malformation is a well-described entity characterized by hindbrain herniation through the foramen magnum. Although the exact origin of congenital Chiari I malformation is unknown, it appears to be caused by a mismatch between the volume of the posterior fossa neural elements and the posterior fossa cranial content. Several theories have been proposed to describe the resultant pathophysiology of this mismatch. It is clear, however, that abnormal cerebrospinal fluid flow and velocity play a role in the symptoms and signs associated with this disorder. The authors will review the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment options for patients with Chiari I malformation.
    Introduction
    In 1891, Chiari presented his series conducted in autopsy examinations of patients with cerebellar ectopia in which he classified Type I as "elongation of the tonsils and medial parts of the inferior lobes of the cerebellum into cone-shaped projections, which accompany the medulla oblongata into the spinal canal."
