Abdominal Wall Weakness Due to Thoracic Syringomyelia
Neurol 41:1689-1691, Coleman,R.J.&Ingram,D.A., 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe a patient who presented with unilateral abdominal herniation due to weakness of abdominal musculature,associated with extensive synringomyelia.Electromyographic evidence of focal denervation and reinnervation was present in the weak muscles consistent with anterior horn cell loss.We compare these unusual clinical features with the more typical presentations of syringomyelia and with other neurologic causes of abdominal weakness.
