Superficial abdominal reflex in syringomyelia: Associations with Chiari I malformation

•In the largest cohort of patients studied to date with syrinx and evaluation for superficial abdominal reflex (SAR), we show that an abnormal SAR is more common in Chairi-associated syrinx, compared with idiopathic syrinx (P
