The only way to know for sure is to have an MRI. Do the whole spine as it can appear in all of it. C spine, t spine or l spine, it doesn't care.

A MRI is pretty much the only way you can see if there's a syrinx. So finding yourself a good neurologist and/or neurosurgeon because you're going to need both at some point.

I believe the first case was 1953 forgive me I forgot the name of the professional golfer, , but this disease is diagnosed by administering an MRI.
To me the saddest thing is is that dogs get this too

An MRI is the only way syringomelia can be spotted and diagnosed. A neurologist is essential as well as a Pain Specialist.
