  • Note:—AS indicates above the syrinx; BS, below the syrinx; BOS, base of skull.

  • a Data obtained at these levels were used to compare flow in the participants with syrinx (Fig 2).

  • b CSF flow measurements obtained at this spinal level were used to compare flow with that of controls at C5 (Fig 3).
