The clinical and CSF circulation (by cine-PC MRI technique) study of communicant syringomyelia was performed. Anatomical and functional components of liquorodynamic changes were identified. These factors can be important for the communicant syringomyelia formation.

Key words: CSF circulation study, cine-PC MRI, communicant syringomyelia.
