Overview

The international symposium ""Syringomyelia 2000"" in Kobe, Japan, brought together experts in neurosurgery, neurology, and neuropathology. The decade leading up to this event saw remarkable developments in surgery and imaging technology. The symposium was thus an opportunity for researchers and clinicians to enhance and broaden the scope of their knowledge and to become more aware of work being done in complementary fields. With its collection of papers presented at the Kobe conference, this volume contains a thorough and comprehensive description of syringomyelia - its classification, pathology, and pathophysiology; experimental studies; and its association with abnormalities of the craniocervical junction, Chari II malformation, tethered cord, and other disorders. This compilation provides valuable state-of-the-art information for professionals in the fields of neurosurgery, neurology, and neuropathology and for all others concerned with syringomelia.
