Through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tracing experiments, we found that the CSF flow in the subarachnoid space (SAS) of rats was restored after decompression. This shows that the poor prognosis of syringomyelia rats in this study is not caused by CSF circulation disorders, suggesting the existence of other factors.
