Subarachnoid-Subarachnoid (S-S) Bypass Versus Adhesion Lysis in Spinal Arachnoiditis and Syringomyelia

Details

Participants with Spinal Arachnoiditis and Syringomyelia will be randomized to either have a Subarachnoid-Subarachnoid (S-S) Bypass or intradural adhesion Lysis. The participant will then return to the neurosurgeon's office at the following time points which are consistent with standard of care practice: 3-6 months, 12 and 24 months. At these visits, the clinician will complete a physical exam and the participant will report on the prognosis of symptoms and complete questionnaires. A spine MRI will be performed 3-6 months, 12 and 24 months after the decompression.
