Abnormality of the Central Canal of the Spinal Cord in Syringomyelia in a Patient With a Basal Skull Malformation
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using T1, T2, White-Matter nulled (WMn), and diffusion sequences
Study summary
The aim of this study is to analyze the association between a deformity of the cranial portion of the central spinal canal and syringomyelia in patients with a Chiari-type malformation of the craniocervical junction.
The investigators hypothesize that Chiari malformation, defined by the herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum, may be responsible for a deformation of the cranial portion of the central spinal canal, and that this deformation is associated with the presence of syringomyelia in patients with this malformation.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Deformation of the central canal of the spinal cord — At inclusion (D0)
The central canal deformation index of the spinal cord, calculated based on the angle of the curves and the length of each segment between two curves.
