Syringomyelia Regression after Shunting of a Trapped Fourth Ventricle
We describe a case of progressive syringomyelia following post-infectious trapped fourth ventricle (TFV), which resolved after shunting of the fourth ventricle. A 28-year-old female who had previously undergone treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage and meningitis developed a hydrocephalus with TFV. After 3 years she developed disturbance of walking and coordination. Cranial-CT revealed an enlar...
متن کاملShunting of recurrent post-traumatic syringomyelia into the fourth ventricle: a case report
INTRODUCTION Post-traumatic syringomyelia is a progressive degenerative disorder that is a well-recognized sequela of spinal cord injury. There is currently no optimal intervention capable of producing satisfactory long-term clinical results. CASE PRESENTATION In this report, we present a 55-year-old Asian man with recurrent syringomyelia after shunt treatment. The syrinx extended from the th...
متن کاملScoliosis and syringomyelia with Chiari malformation after lumbar shunting.
Unsteady gait was noted in a 2-year-old boy with a lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt that had been inserted 1 year earlier for increased head circumference caused by communicating hydrocephalus. Scoliosis was also noted during postoperative follow-up. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed new hindbrain tonsillar herniation and an extensive syrinx from C3 to L1. The malfunctioning LP shunt was removed an...
متن کاملThe "keyhole": a sign of herniation of a trapped fourth ventricle and other posterior fossa cysts.
When a cystic structure in the posterior fossa increases in size, the accompanying increase in pressure may cause it to herniate upward through the tentorial hiatus. In our experience this happens most commonly with a dilated trapped fourth ventricle secondary to infection or intraventricular hemorrhage. However, herniation of an arachnoid cyst or a Dandy-Walker malformation through the tentori...
متن کاملGiant cell ependymoma of the spinal cord and fourth ventricle coexisting with syringomyelia.
This report presents a case of widespread intramedullary giant cell ependymoma arising from the central canal of the C4 segment of the spinal cord in a 28-year-old man admitted to hospital with tetraplegia and signs of increased intracranial pressure, eight months after surgical spinal cervical decompression without tetraplegia improvement. Magnetic resonance imaging and autopsy revealed a tumo...
