STUDY DESIGN A retrospective case-control studyOBJECTIVE.: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of selective thoracic fusion in the surgical treatment of patients with syringomyelia-associated scoliosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Selective thoracic fusion technique was introduced to treat idiopathic scoliosis patients with major thoracic curve. Theoretically, such therap...

Chiari malformation (CM) is one of the most common malformations central nervous system. It may be seen with syringomyelia, hydrocephalia and associated pathologies. We described an uncommon clinical presentation CM in this paper. report a case 45 years old male patient consulted to our outpatient clinic claw hand deformity who had misdiagnosed as ulnar entrapment neuropathy undergone transposi...

We report a patient with bulbar-onset, clinically defined, sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis bearing an isolated syringomyelia of the lower thoracic portion of the spinal cord. This is a very unusual association between two rare and progressive disorders, both affecting the spinal motoneurons. Syringomyelia might have acted as a phenotypic modifier in this ALS patient.

Syringomyelia is an etiologically diverse affliction caused by disturbance of normal cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics. An evaluation by comprehensive imaging, using advanced three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state and four-dimensional phase contrast imaging techniques, should be focused on finding the causative lesion because this determines which surgical strategy could be...

Malformations of the spine and spinal cord are common in domestic mammals. Among these, syringomyelia is defined as a cystic, fluid filled tubular cavity (syrinx) within the spinal cord extending over several segments. Syringomyelia occurs as a primary congenital malformation and is most commonly combined with neural tube defects. However, it can also be acquired after alterations in cerebrospi...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the clinical outcome of surgical intervention for post-traumatic syringomyelia. INTRODUCTION Progressive post-traumatic cystic myelopathy (PPCM), or syringomyelia, can occur after spinal cord injury. The authors present their surgical treatment protocol and treatment outcome of a series of patients with post-traumatic syringomyelia. ME...

A twenty-month-old Chihuahua male dog was presented to us suffering with ataxia. Based on the physical examination, X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, we diagnosed the dog with hydrocephalus, Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia. Treatment consisted of internal medical treatment and the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. The ventricular dilatation was relie...

PURPOSE In this case report, we present two cases of syringomyelia with optic neuropathy. FINDINGS In Case 1, a 36-year-old Malay lady presented to our clinic with acute onset of blurring of vision in her left eye that she experienced since past 1 month. She was diagnosed with syringomyelia 12 years ago and was on conservative management. Her visual acuity was 6/6 in the right eye and countin...
