Abstract
A modified rat model of syringomyelia was created using polystyrene microspheres to obstruct the SAS. Syrinx volume was assessed by 7.0T MRI, alongside behavioral, electrophysiological, and immunofluorescence analyses comparing subarachnoid–subarachnoid (S-S) bypass with decompression. CSF tracer studies evaluated postoperative dynamics, and confocal imaging quantified tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Claudin-5) and ciliary markers (Arl13b, γ-Tubulin). CSF proteomics explored underlying mechanisms. Clinically, seventeen patients with syringomyelia secondary to arachnoid adhesions underwent S-S bypass as a preliminary feasibility and safety evaluation, with MRI and neurological evaluation pre- and postoperatively.
