What should be done about spinal cord cavitation?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing pain, itching, and a sensation like ants crawling in my head, neck, and shoulders recently. The small muscles in my hands have atrophied and become weak, and I have numbness in my limbs. I cannot feel the difference between hot and cold. My skin is dry and yellow, and my nails are severely deformed. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed it as a spinal canal cyst. What should I do about a spinal canal cyst?

Doctor's answer:

If after careful examination it is suspected to be syringomyelia, this condition should be taken to the hospital for further detailed examination, especially to clarify the specific inflammatory status. Then, active surgical treatment should be carried out, which should help achieve a more thorough recovery. This disease generally has a good outcome with surgical treatment. It is recommended to choose appropriate surgery based on the situation, which should lead to a rapid and complete recovery.
