Abstract
The clinical and neurological features of four siblings (2 ♂, 2 ♀) affected by syringomyelia are described. A fifth sister was affected by an acoustic neurinoma. Since neither parent showed signs of syringomyelia, this is considered to be a datum substantiating the dysembryogenetic theory of the syringomyelia syndrome. Die klinisch-neurologischen Befunde von 4 Geschwistern (2 ♂, 2 ♀) mit Syringomyelie werden beschrieben. Eine 5. Schwester hatte ein Akustikneuronom. Beide Eltern zeigten keine Zeichen von Syringomyelie. Das familiäre Vorkommen wird als Stütze für die dysembryogenetische Theorie angesehen.Keywords
