Core Tip	Our study assume that central cord syndrome can result in syringomyelia. We postulate that cervical spine instability may be the cause of myelomalacia and consequently syrinx. In cervical spondylosis with related central cord syndrome or syringomyelia we underline the importance of surgical decompression and stabilization. Surgical decompression prevents “complications of cervical spondylosis” at the base of syringomyelia. Stabilization is also necessary to prevent instability of the cervical spine at the base of central cord syndrome or syringomyelia. Finally we propose the surgical treatment also for patients affected by central cord syndrome showing advanced state of the symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging.
