A novel method to quantify perivascular space enlargement near the syrinx in a rodent model of post-traumatic syringomyelia
Posttraumatic syringomyelia (PTS) is an enigmatic condition characterized by the development of fluid-filled cysts (syrinxes) within the spinal cord. Perivascular spaces (PVS) are a critical component of fluid transport within the central nervous system (CNS), with dilated PVSs variably implicated i...

description | Posttraumatic syringomyelia (PTS) is an enigmatic condition characterized by the development of fluid-filled cysts (syrinxes) within the spinal cord. Perivascular spaces (PVS) are a critical component of fluid transport within the central nervous system (CNS), with dilated PVSs variably implicated in the pathogenesis of syringomyelia. The extent and spatial distribution of dilated PVSs in syringomyelia, however, remains unclear. This study aims to develop a method to assess PVS dimensions across multiple spinal cord segments in rats with PTS. Syrinxes were induced in two Sprague–Dawley rats at C6/7 with computer-controlled motorized spinal cord impaction; two control rats underwent sham laminectomies. Spinal cord segments were obtained at C4, C6 and C8, cleared via tissue clearing protocols, stained with immunofluorescent antibodies and imaged under confocal microscopy. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of PVS size were performed. Arteriolar PVSs were enlarged in the perisyringeal region of the spinal cord, compared to the control cord. No PVS enlargement was observed above or below the syrinx. These results confirm previous incidental findings of enlarged PVSs in the perisyringeal region, providing new insights into PVS dimensions across multiple spinal segments, and providing a novel method for quantifying spinal cord perivascular space size distributions. |
