Hi. I had a cervical discectomy and neck fusion spanning through c5-c7. My post operative MRI says I have a small SYRIX at the margin of c7 post operative; however my regular MD read my MRI report and say my MRI is normal; however the report says I have a syrinx on the cephalad margin of C7, then it says " probably not clinically significant" . Is this normal? I have had lost of arm weak ness, limited mobility in neck, head pressure , difficulty swallowing and lot of sinus type pressures on left side of face and head and I'm told every thing is normal and nor clinical reason for pain. I'm not sure how serious to look into tis Syrinx thing or if it could be causing me the weakness and pain, or if this is something normal on a post op cervical MRI? Is it normal to see this? surgery was done 7.11.15.
Thank you
