A young man in his 30’s was injured in a head on car crash which resulted in discovery of Syringemelia aka/Syrinx.

The trauma from this collision lit up an underlying congenital condition which he did not know he had.

As an athlete, basketball player and husband, ready to start a family, and just recently having completed his masters in divinity, this injury portended an unfortunate story for a young man and his family.

Fortunately his faith and trust in the powers that be assisted him to weather the storm of surviving a serious spinal injury of Syrinx.

Syrinx can be a disabling injury but not much is known about the long term prognosis. Many with Syrinx who have minimal symptoms can from out of no where 10-20 years down the line find that an expanding syrinx or cysts in the spinal cord has increased their neurological complaints.

Seattle has some of the leading researchers and neurosurgeons, who specialize in this disease and condition, west of the Mississippi.
