Syrinx knows how to do it.
As a Syrinx widens it compresses and injures further nerve fibres.
Most Syrinxes(44%) in the Japanese survey were cervico-thoracic, with cervical only being the second most common[1].
This depends on where the Syrinx is, how far it extends, its underlying cause
and the resulting neurological disability it causes.
Each individual experiences a different combination of
symptoms depending on where in the spinal cord the Syrinx forms and how far it extends.

MRI will show the Syrinx in the spine and may demonstrate a causative condition,
such as Chiari malformation or the presence of a tumour.
Sudden exacerbations can occur and
are thought to be caused by rupture of the Syrinx because of raised venous pressure, as seen in sneezing or violent coughing[3].
Greeks played a variety of wind instruments they classified as aulos(reeds) or Syrinx(flutes); Greek writing from that time reflects
a serious study of reed production and playing technique.
