There is no drug to treat syringomyelia currently, the only way to solve the problem of cavities is by surgery. If syringomyelia is caused by either posterior cranial fossa deformity or spine tumor, it can only be treated by surgery. Moreover, if syringomyelia is caused by trauma or sequelae of meningitis, and the degree of obstruction is over 3 cm with neurological symptoms, patients should undergo surgery immediately; otherwise, patients are exposed to the danger of paralysis or death. When the patients are in pain, feel general fatigue and have urinary and bowel disorders, they should seek medical help immediately to ensure the severity of disease and the timing of receiving surgery. If the symptoms can be detected in the early stage of disease, or there is no obvious signs of deterioration after surgery, patients can be treated through medication and tracking.
