Syringomyelia normally presents with bi-lateral loss of pain/temp in a cape like distribution due to damage of the anterior white commisures of the Spino-Thalamic Tract.

This person also has wasting of the small muscles of her hand, which is due to Syrinx expansion causing damage to LMNs of the anterior horn (from CNS Pathoma)
