In children younger than 1 year of age, syringomyelia can absorb on its own. In this case, it is often recommended to observe first, avoid strenuous activities, and reduce coughing and crying that can lead to an increase in abdominal pressure to facilitate the absorption of syringomyelia. The rate of absorption of syringomyelia in infants does not depend on the acquired disposition, and whether it can be absorbed and heal on its own is a physiological developmental process of the child, and excessive intervention should be avoided. If the syringomyelia is absorbed and disappears within 1 year of age, it is considered healed. If the syringomyelia is still present after 1 year of age, prompt medical attention and surgery is required. Surgery is the only effective way to treat syringomyelia in children. There are no medications available to treat syringomyelia. Some parents apply local heat to their children, which may lead to local enlargement of the syringomyelia.
