I don't know really, but this is in the dictionary...

myelomalacia

Softening of the spinal cord.

Origin: myelo-+ G. Malakia, a softness

Dave, you might try posting on the
Spinal Disorders Forum ( http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=251) . You're sure to find someone there who knows what it all means.

take care,
