A syrinx is a fluid-filled cavity within the spinal cord or in the brain stem.Alternatively, it is another name for a set of panpipes, or a narrow channel cut into rock, especially that of ancient Egyptian tombs.
Sometimes CSF (Cerebral Spinal Fluid) is squeezed downward, forced into the spinal cord itself where this fluid does not belong, creating the long blister-like syrinx of syringomyelia [Ed Note: the actual mechanism underlying syrinx formation is not well understood]. Occasionally, the syrinx will form in the central canal of the cord, causing a dilation of the canal known as hydromyelia. The combination of both of these is sometimes termed syringohydromyelia.
the cauda equina is the nerve that emerges from the distal end of the spinal cord. it also supplies the lower extremities.

This means that there are no unusual findings or abnormalities in the distal cord of the spinal column. It suggests that the area at the end of the spinal cord appears normal and healthy on examination.
