Hi Shelley, a syrinx is a fluid filled cyst in your spinal cord. It is also called syringomyelia. It causes pain, numbness headaches. Mine was caused by a auto accident. As it stands now we just watch it to make sure it doesn't grow. They can put a shunt in to drain it but I am nowhere near that point yet. ...Sue
