Usually, patients with slow course, small amount of fluid and no obvious symptoms can be followed up and observed. Surgical criteria for syringomyelia need to be judged in the light of the patient’s actual condition, and there is no clear size standard. For those who have a slow course of the disease, small amount of fluid accumulation, small tension and no growth for a long period of time, and no obvious symptoms, it is recommended to follow up and observe, and no special treatment is needed. In infants and young children, syringomyelia can be self-absorbed and no treatment is needed for the time being. After discharging the above conditions, those with large amount of syringomyelia and accompanying uncomfortable symptoms should actively cooperate with the doctor to be treated by surgery such as syringomyelia opening, syringomyelia reversal, syringomyelia folding, etc. After surgery, close monitoring of the condition is required to ensure that the patient’s condition is maintained. After the surgery, the patient’s condition needs to be closely monitored so that complications such as testicular edema, small amount of scrotal hematoma, and infection can be treated in a timely manner. It is suggested that people with syringomyelia should cooperate with their doctors to choose the appropriate treatment plan according to their actual situation.
