You may need surgery as these dilated central canal is there in cervical and dorsal level. Cause can be idiopathic or some obstruction in CSF flow. I understand as a doctor working in neurosciences dept that is difficult problem to treat but if you dontbact on in now it will lead to weakness in hands and legs
