Default MRI results

BJ had his MRI yesterday and we met with the neurologist in clinic after. Nothing showed up to indicate a cause of the yawning. The neurologist said the overnight video EEG did show one "seizure-like burst" but it wasn't logged with any yawning, so he doesn't feel this is the cause of the yawning. He believes the yawning is a tic. We are to see him again in 6-months and sooner if we notice any seizure-like activity or any repetative, jerky movements or if the yawning starts to negatively impact his life.

The only issue in the MRI was apparently his syrinx has grown in width. It was 1.2mm at his last MRI two years ago and now it is 2mm. So, we are consulting with our neurosurgeon about that. I am very concerned this could be an indication of his cord retethering.

So, that is where we are at. Thoughts?
