Inclusion Criteria

1.Post-traumatic spinal cord injury patients (Level A, B, C or D in ASIA scales), with associated syringomyelia extended at least in three vertebral segments, and neurological stable clinic for at least 6 months prior to study start.
2.Previous studies of Neurophysiology, MRI and Urology (if neurogenic bladder data exist) and defecatory activity (if neurogenic intestine signs exist) to allow useful baseline, in order that they can be compared with the same scans at the end of the follow uo period, and to obtain objective data of potential efficacy.
3.Age between 18 and 70 years.
4.Neuroimagin (MR) that allow to confirm the syringomyelic cavity existence extended at lest 3 vertebral segments.
5.Men and women of childbearing age must compromisse to use contraceptives from the time at which the removal of cells from the bone marrow is performed until 6 months after the celular administration.
6.Possibility of follow up and commitment to perform ambulatory physical therapy, at least one hour per day, five days per week, throughout all treatment period.
7.Written informed consent, according to the law in force.
8.Hematologic, creatinine, SGOT and SGPT parameters, within the normal range, according to laboratory standards. However, slight modifications that are considered significant in the context of treatment to be performed, according to the criterion of the research team, are accepted.
