A medical condition involving the spinal cord where there is an abnormal loss of fluid within the cord's central canal.
From an- (without) + hydro (water) + myelia (relating to the spinal cord). The term combines Greek medical terminology to describe a spinal cord that has lost its protective cerebrospinal fluid.
Your spinal cord needs water—literally—to cushion and protect it; anhydromyelia means that critical fluid is disappearing, which can cause permanent nerve damage if not treated.
