Mathematical modelling and analysis of cerebrospinal mechanics : an investigation into the parthogenesis of syringomyelia

Syringomyelia is a disease in which fluid-filled cavities, called syrinxes, form in the spinal cord causing progressive loss of sensory and motor functions. Invasive monitoring of pressure waves in the spinal subarachnoid space implicates a hydrodynamic origin. Poor treatment outcomes have led to my...
