Spontaneous resolution of an extensive posttraumatic syrinx.
The prevalence of symptomatic syringomyelia in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) is around 4.5%. It is an important cause of treatable neurologic deterioration, although surgical shunting of the syrinx or arachnoid adhesiolysis of tethered elements have unpredictable results. Classically, syrinx extension causes progressive neuropathic pain, often with dissociated sensory loss due ...
متن کاملSpinal cord swelling preceding syrinx development
explain the pathophysiology of syringomyelia associated with the Chiari I malformation. In some of them, mechanisms in which the syrinx expands progressively from an initially small locus of syringomyelia, a “drop” of fluid, to a cavity that is large enough to distend the spinal cord are proposed. This is the mechanism proposed for the theories advocated by Gardner and Angel,4,5 and Williams18–...
متن کاملSpontaneous thoracic spinal cord herniation through an anterior dural defect.
A 44-year-old woman was examined for progressive left lower extremity weakness and spasticity. Thoracic spine MR imaging and CT myelography showed a ventral dural defect at T7-T8 with an extradural subarachnoid fluid collection and extradural herniation of the spinal cord. Intraoperative sonography confirmed the appropriate level for dural entry and the finding of spinal cord herniation. After ...
متن کامل[Spontaneous spinal cord herniation].
Spontaneous spinal cord herniation through a dural defect is an unusual condition. This entity has been probably underestimated before the introduction of MRI. We report a case of a 49-year-old man with a progressive Brown-Sequard syndrome. MRI and CT myelogram showed a ventrally displaced spinal cord at level T6-T7 and expansion of the posterior subarachnoid space. Through a laminectomy, a spi...
متن کاملSpontaneous Resolution of Symptomatic Thoracic Spine Calcified Disc Herniation: A Case Report and Literature Review
Calcification of intervertebral disc (IVD) is an uncommon but well-defined clinical syndrome in children. Despite its benign nature, occasionally, calcified nucleus pulposus can herniate into the spinal canal. We report an interesting case of calcified disc herniation in the thoracic spine. Although it resulted in cord compression and syrinx formation, it well responded to conservative manageme...
