Idiopathic Syringomyelia, increasing number can now be attributed to CSF flow abnormalities. This chapter reviews the imaging, classification, presentation and management of idiopathic syringomyelia. The scientific literature on idiopathic syringomyelia is appraised, and a management algorithm is presented.
