Abstract:

Introduction: Intramedullary hemangioblastomas are usually accompanied by syringomyelia. However, a holocord syringomyelia is rare. The most common cause of syringomyelia continues to be Chiari disease, and only 10 cases of hemangioblastomas with holocord syringomyelia reported so far. Case report: We present a case of a 35-year-old patient with a two-month history of cervicobrachialgia at the C7-C8 root level, previously preceded by pain at the D1-D2 level. Cervico-dorso-lumbar MRI revealed a medullar tumor with hyper-uptake mural nodule at the conus medullaris level accompanied by an extensive syringomyelic cavity from C5 to L1 compatible with medullary hemangioblastoma. The patient underwent surgery for tumor resection with subsequent resolution of her painful symptoms. Conclusion: It is important to note that the surgery is aimed at treating the origin of this syringomyelia and not the syringomyelia itself. Although the majority of patients with holocord syringomyelia have Chiari as its cause, the possibility of focal spinal intramedullary tumors as being responsible for syringomyelia should not be forgotten.

Abstract:

Spinal epidermoid cysts are benign tumors. Syringomyelia secondary to intramedullary tumors are frequently observed. However, the association between syringomyelia and spinal intradural extramedullary epidermoid cyst in the conus medullaris region is extremely rare. We present the case of a 3-year-old male who was admitted with paraparesis and urinary retention. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine demonstrated intradural extramedullary lesion, compatible with epidermoid cyst, that at the conus medullaris level and a large syringomyelia extending from T4 to L1 vertebrae. Total microsurgical excision of the cyst was performed. No additional drainage was carried out for the syringomyelic cavity. Histopathological examination verified the diagnosis of the epidermoid cyst. Total excision of the cyst and disappearance of the syringomyelia were observed on MRI at 15 days postoperatively. We have clarified the etiology, clinical, histopathological and radiological features, differential diagnosis, and treatment modalities of spinal epidermoid cysts. In addition, we have discussed the possible mechanisms of syringomyelia formation in spinal intradural lesions.

Abstract:

Abstract Myelography and myelography assisted with computed tomography have been the most commonly used radiographic methods in the study of syringomyelia. These studies have never been entirely reliable in demonstrating the syrinx cavity and its relationship to other intracranial structures. During the 1st year of operation of the magnetic resonance imaging facility, the syringomyelic cavity was demonstrated in 15 patients who all had typical clinical signs and symptoms associated with syringomyelia. Nine cases were syringomyelia with Chiari malformation. One case showed additional hydrocephalus. Four cases were idiopathic, and 1 case was remotely posttraumatic. Magnetic resonance imaging, although it is in its infancy, already promises to be the most important radiographic technique for syringomyelia because it provides an anatomically truthful visualization of the sagittal plane of the cervical cord and can demonstrate the syrinx cavity and its relationship with the cerebellar tonsils, the 4th ventricle, and other related structures.

Abstract A patient with syringomyelia and syringobulbia secondary to an asymptomatic ependymoma of the cauda equina involving the conus medullaris is described. Delayed metrizamide computed tomography myelography was decisive for making the diagnosis of a highly extended syrinx associated with the tumor. Syringomyelic symptoms improved remarkably following the removal of the tumor, and the syrinx was not visualized in a postoperative study. The pathogenesis of syringomyelia associated with a caudally located spinal cord tumor is discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract OBJECTIVE Spine deformities, notably scoliosis, are known to occur in conjunction with syringomyelia. This study aims to analyze the effect of laminectomies performed in the course of treatment of syringomyelia. It examines the incidence, severity, and type of spine deformity as it relates to the extent and location of laminectomies performed. METHODS Records of 169 patients were analyzed for evidence of spinal deformity on imaging studies for the extent of the syringomyelic cavities and for previous surgical procedures on the spine. This analysis included patients with syringomyelia related to Chiari malformation, as well as patients with primary spinal pathology. RESULTS Spinal deformities were encountered in 41% of Chiari-syringomyelia patients who had not undergone previous surgery and in 57% of such patients who underwent reoperation. Scoliosis, the most common type of deformity encountered, was likely to be mild in patients who had not undergone previous surgery and severe in reoperated patients. Spine deformity was significantly more common in those patients who had more extensive bone removal. CONCLUSION Complete laminectomy should be avoided whenever possible in patients with syringomyelia because local denervation of the axial musculature, added to loss of medial anterior horn cells from syringomyelia, favors the development of spine deformities. This is particularly true of laminectomies performed at the junctional areas of the spine, i.e., cervical-thoracic and thoracolumbar. Hemilaminectomy usually suffices for shunt placement; instrumented stabilization should be considered in patients undergoing full laminectomy, especially those considered to be at high risk of developing deformity.

Abstract:

Pathophysiology of syringomyelia has not been understood completely. The basic «piston» theory is that the downward movement of the cerebellar tonsils that occurs during the cardiac cycle acts like a «piston» on the partially closed spinal subarachnoid space and results in the formation of a syringomyelitic cavity. However, this still needs to be confirmed by additional experimental data. The main pathogenetic question is how the cerebrospinal fluid enters and remains in the syringomyelic cavity, where the pressure is higher than in the subarachnoid space. Based on the literature data on the pathogenesis of Chiari I malformation with syringomyelia, we modeled and presented our vision of the pathogenesis. Our assumption about the formation of syringomyelia in Chiari I malformation is that there may be a CSF channel between the fourth ventricle and the syrinx. This channel takes on the function of a one-way valve when slightly squeezed and with cyclic movements of the cerebellar tonsils. Decompression of the tonsils turns off the one-way valve, collapsing the syrinx. Perhaps this assumption will serve as a working hypothesis for further study of the pathophysiology of Chiari malformation type I and syringomyelia.

Abstract:

✓ Five patients with a Chiari I-syringomyelia complex of adult onset were evaluated by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. All patients underwent suboccipital craniotomy with upper cervical (C-1 and part of C-2) laminectomy, arachnoid retraction, and duraplasty. Postoperative MR studies of four patients disclosed collapse of the syringomyelic cavity, even when the cavity extended into the thoracic region. This appeared to be a progressive process taking place over several weeks. Operative complications are noted and physiological implications are discussed.

Abstract:

Introduction: The article describes a clinical case of a malignant tumor of the brain and spinal cord with metastasis, which remained undetected for many years and was treated as syringomyelia. Long-term exhausting examinations of the brain and spinal cord, dynamic follow-up of medical specialists, and repeated surgical interventions on the spine helped to differentiate this process and make the correct diagnosis. The aim: The objectives of the present paper are to analyze the existing classifications of syringomyelia; to examine its etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches and treatment tactics; to present a clinical case of a malignant tumor of the brain and spinal cord with metastasis, which was misdiagnosed as syringomyelia. Materials and methods: The authors analyzed the existing classifications of syringomyelia and studied its etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches and treatment tactics using the method of content analysis, analyticalб comparative and contrastive methods. Clinical case: The described clinical case is a variant of the course of syringomyelia, associated with the spinal cord tumor, namely, in particular, anaplastic ependymoma. For a long time, the process remained undetected, despite the long-term examination and drainage of the syringomyelic cavity. Analyzing this case, it is highly important to pay attention to careful history collection, examination of the patient, analysis of the occurrence of certain disorders in order to conduct the neuroimaging examinations in time. Conclusions: Favorable outcome of the disease is directly related to the diagnosis at early stages, especially in young people, the clinical variant of the process, progression of the course, the degree of involvement of various parts of the nervous system and extraneural formations, the severity of the lesion. The treatment tactics and the ability to restore the functions will depend on all these factors.

Abstract:

Object. This study was conducted to evaluate the results of shunting procedures for syringomyelia. Methods. In a follow-up analysis of 42 patients in whom shunts were placed in syringomyelic cavities, the authors have demonstrated that 21 (50%) developed recurrent cyst expansion indicative of shunt failure. Problems were encountered in patients with syringomyelia resulting from hindbrain herniation, spinal trauma, or inflammatory processes. A low-pressure cerebrospinal fluid state occurred in two of 18 patients; infection was also rare (one of 18 patients), but both are potentially devastating complications of shunt procedures. Shunt obstruction, the most common problem, was encountered in 18 patients; spinal cord tethering, seen in three cases, may account for situations in which the patient gradually deteriorated neurologically, despite a functioning shunt. Conclusions. Placement of all types of shunts (subarachnoid, syringoperitoneal, and syringopleural) may be followed by significant morbidity requiring one or more additional surgical procedures.

Abstract:

Abstract Syringomyelia, once regarded as a degenerative disease of adults, is now recognized to be a disorder usually associated with the Chiari malformation and occurring in patients of all ages. We have reviewed 47 patients with syringomyelia treated on the Neurosurgical Service at the Hospital for Sick Children during the years 1977 to 1985. Twelve of these patients had a Chiari I malformation, 30 had a Chiari II malformation, and 5 had an acquired Chiari malformation. Thirty-one of these patients were treated by decompression of the Chiari malformation and plugging of the obex, 5 were treated by a simple posterior fossa decompression, 9 were treated by shunting of the syringomyelic cavity, and 2 were treated by a combined decompression of the posterior fossa and shunting of the syrinx. The Gardner procedure (decompression of the Chiari malformation and plugging of the obex) was the procedure most commonly used in managing our group of patients and resulted in improvement in over 70% of patients.

Abstract:

Background: Most posttraumatic syringomyelias occur in the cervical or thoracic spinal cord, where they contribute to myelopathic deficits. Here, a 40-year-old patient presented with the left leg monoparesis due to syringomyelia involving the conus medullaris 10 years after an L2 vertebral “crush” fracture. Case Description: Ten years following an L2 vertebral “crush” fracture, a 40-year-old male presented with the new onset of left lower leg paresis. The magnetic resonance imaging showed a T12–L1 syrinx associated with accompanying high-intensity areas above the syrinx located between the T11 and T12 levels. One month after placing a syringosubarachnoid (SS) shunt, both the syrinx and high-intensity area rapidly disappeared, and the left distal motor weakness resolved. Conclusion: Ten years following an L2 “crush” fracture, a 40-year-old male presented with the new onset of a cauda equina syndrome secondary to a posttraumatic T12–L1 syringomyelia causing expansion of the conus medullaris.

Abstract:

Background: Intractable hiccups (IH) due to syringomyelia or syringomyelia/syringobulbia associated with Chiari type I malformations (CMI) are extremely rare. Here, we present two patients who presented with IH; one had a CMI with syringomyelia/syringobulbia, and the other, with CMI and syringomyelia. Case Description: The first patient was an 18-year-old female who presented with IH attributed to a holocord syrinx and syringobulbia involving the right dorsolateral medulla. The second patient was a 22-year-old female with a C3-5 syringomyelia. Both patients successfully underwent foramen magnum decompressions that improved their symptoms, while subsequent magnetic resonance studies confirmed shrinkage of their syringobulbia/syringomyelia cavities. Conclusion: IH was due to cervical syringomyelia/syringobulbia in one patient and cervical syringomyelia in the other; both were successfully managed with foramen magnum decompressions.

Abstract:

The best surgical treatment for Chiari malformation is unclear, especially in patients with syringomyelia. We reviewed the records of 16 patients who underwent suboccipital craniectomy at our institution between 2005 and 2008. Of the six patients who did not undergo duraplasty, four showed improvement postoperatively. Two patients without syringomyelia showed improvement postoperatively. Of the four patients with syringomyelia, three showed improvement, including two with a decrease in the cavity size. One patient showed improvement in symptoms but the syringomyelia was unchanged. The cavity size increased in the one patient who did not show improvement. Among the 10 patients who underwent duraplasty, improvements were noted in four of the five patients without syringomyelia and in all of the five with syringomyelia. There is a suggestion that patients with syringomyelia may have a higher likelihood of improvement after undergoing duraplasty.

Abstract:

Introduction. Syringomyelia is a cavitary extension inside the spinal cord which can be either symptomatic or congenitally-idiopathic. Syringomyelia during the course of the disease in patients presenting with clinically definite multiple sclerosis was described earlier. Syringomyelia in patients presenting with a clinically isolated syndrome suggestive of multiple sclerosis is unusual. Case Outline. We present two patients presenting with demy-elinating disease of the central nervous system with syringomyelia in the cervical and thoracic spinal cord. We did not find classical clinical signs of syringomyelia in our patients, but we disclosed syringomyelia incidentally during magnetic resonance exploration. Magnetic resonance exploration using the gadolinium contrast revealed the signs of active demyelinating lesions in the spinal cord in one patient but not in the other. Conclusion. Syringomyelia in demyelinating disease of the central nervous system opens the question whether it is a coincidental finding or a part of clinical features of the disease. Differentiation of the significance of syringomyelia finding in these patients plays a role in the choice of treatment concept in such patients.

Abstract:

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE The natural history of syringomyelia is highly unpredictable, and some patients experience improvement or stabilization without surgery. However, the mechanisms of the formation and spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia remain controversial. This report concerns two patients with syringomyelia who demonstrated spontaneous reductions in syrinx size, accompanied by symptomatic improvement. CLINICAL PRESENTATION One patient was a 10-year-old girl with syringomyelia associated with a tight cisterna magna and basilar impression, who demonstrated a spontaneous decrease in syrinx size, accompanied by symptomatic improvement, in 22 months. The other patient was a 39-year-old man with syringomyelia associated with a Chiari I malformation, who demonstrated a spontaneous reduction in syrinx size and neurological improvement, accompanied by elevation of the cerebellar tonsils, 6 months after diagnosis. INTERVENTION The patients were monitored. CONCLUSION The mechanisms of spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia, as well as the factors leading to the cerebrospinal fluid flow disturbances that cause syringomyelia, may vary. Resolution of foramen magnum lesion-related syringomyelia may be the result of spontaneous correction of the abnormal cerebrospinal fluid flow, as observed in our cases, or of cavity fluid drainage into the spinal arachnoid space because of spinal cord fissuring.

Abstract:

Object Resolution of syringomyelia is common following hindbrain decompression for Chiari malformation, yet little is known about the kinetics governing this process. The authors sought to establish the volumetric rate of syringomyelia resolution. Methods A retrospective cohort of patients undergoing hindbrain decompression for a Chiari malformation Type I with preoperative cervical or thoracic syringomyelia was identified. Patients were included in the study if they had at least 3 neuroimaging studies that detailed the entirety of their preoperative syringomyelia over a minimum of 6 months postoperatively. The authors reconstructed the MR images in 3 dimensions and calculated the volume of the syringomyelia. They plotted the syringomyelia volume over time and constructed regression models using the method of least squares. The Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion were used to calculate the relative goodness of fit. The coefficients of determination R2 (unadjusted and adjusted) were calculated to describe the proportion of variability in each individual data set accounted for by the statistical model. Results Two patients were identified as meeting inclusion criteria. Plots of the least-squares best fit were identified as 4.01459e−0.0180804x and 13.2556e−0.00615859x. Decay of the syringomyelia followed an exponential model in both patients (R2 = 0.989582 and 0.948864). Conclusions Three-dimensional analysis of syringomyelia resolution over time enables the kinetics to be estimated. This technique is yet to be validated in a large cohort. Because syringomyelia is the final common pathway for a number of different pathological processes, it is possible that this exponential only applies to syringomyelia related to treatment of Chiari malformation Type I.

Abstract:

✓ The spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia has been reported infrequently. In patients with Chiari I malformations, resolution of the syringomyelia has sometimes been associated with improvement of their malformation. The authors present a case of spontaneous resolution followed by recurrence of syringomyelia and a corresponding change in the Chiari malformation. This case is of interest in light of the theories postulated to explain spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia.

Abstract:

✓ The spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia in the setting of a Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I) has been reported infrequently. Several theories about the pathogenesis and spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia associated with CM-I have been proposed. The authors present the case of a patient with spontaneous resolution of a CM-I and syringomyelia coinciding with the development of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea. Although cases of spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia have been reported, this is the first reported case of spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia and a CM-I associated with the simultaneous development of CSF otorrhea.

Abstract:

Objective: to study the basic characteristics of changes revealed by MRI in patients with syringomyelia associated arachnopathy before and after surgery.Materials and methods. MRI was performed in 58 pat ients with syringomyelia before and after surgery in period from 2013 to 2016.Results.The diagnosis “syringomyelia” was approved in 41 patients. There was huge regression (more than 50% of volume) of syringomyelia cavity in 17 (41.4%) patients. In 20 (48.7%) patients marked decrease in size syringomyelia cavity (less than 50%), the volume expansion of the front and rear of cerebrospinal fluid spaces.Conclusions. The use of modern MRI Protocol in various types of syringomyelia allows not only to detect and give a comprehensive feature cavities, but also to detect adhesions, location and length, as well as to assess the dynamics of the disease after surgical treatment.

Abstract:

✓Cordectomy is an effective treatment option in patients in whom posttraumatic syringomyelia develops following complete spinal cord injuries. Since the introduction of cordectomy, numerous approaches to the surgical treatment of posttraumatic syringomyelia have been developed. These newer developments have drawn the attention of surgeons and researchers away from cordectomy. In this report, the authors encourage a reconsideration of cordectomy for the treatment of posttraumatic syringomyelia after complete spinal cord injury. They describe four patients with posttraumatic syringomyelia who were treated successfully with cordectomy and review appropriate literature, examining the effectiveness of cordectomy in the treatment of posttraumatic syringomyelia. The findings of this review indicate that neurological improvement or stabilization occurred in 88% of patients in published reports of posttraumatic syringomyelia treated with cordectomy. The indications for cordectomy as well as factors that may contribute to the procedure’s success are discussed.

Abstract:

Background: Chiari I malformations are defined as the downward herniation of cerebellar tonsils more than 5 mm through the foramen magnum. Syringomyelia is a common association of Chiari I malformation.Methods: This purpose of this study was to determine the various factors predicting the occurrence of syringomyelia in patients with Chiari I malformations. This retrospective study was conducted in Government medical college, Thrissur, Kerala, India. 27 patients admitted with diagnosis of symptomatic Chiari I malformations during the period of January 2015 to January 2019 were selected for the study.Results: The mean age was 22.8 years and syringomyelia was more common in patients older than 10 years (p value0.005). Females were 17(63%) and males were 10(37%) but there no difference in occurrence of syringomyelia among both sexes(p value is 0.16). Syringomyelia was present in 17(63%) cases. Association between various factors and syringomyelia measured by calculating P value which was 0.005 for age >10 years, 0.16 for sex, 0.093 for duration of symptoms >12 months, 0.05 for tonsillar descend >10mm and 0.097 for hypertension. The p value for the association of duration of symptoms >12months and extend of tonsillar descend is 0.001 Mean duration of symptoms (onset of first symptom to the time of presentation) was 16.3 months and syringomyelia was more common in patients with duration of symptoms more than 12 months but this difference was statistically not significant (p value 0.093). Mean tonsillar descend from the level of foramen magnum was 11.3 mms and syringomyelia was more common in patients with tonsillar herniation more than 10mm (p value 0.05). There is a statistically significant relationship between duration of symptoms more than 12 months and tonsillar descend more than 10mm(p value 0.001).There is no significant association between hypertension and occurrence of syringomyelia in patients with Chiari I malformation.Conclusions: Incidence of Chiari I Malformations is more among adults and it is slightly higher in females. Syringomyelia is a common association of Chiari I Malformations. The occurrence of syringomyelia in patients with Chiari I Malformations associated with increasing age of patients and extend of tonsillar herniation. There is no statistically significant association between syringomyelia and duration of symptoms or hypertension.

Abstract:

Background: Cervical syringomyelia is a rare condition and which can beidiopathic or secondary to trauma. Syrinx is most often treated surgically but can be risky atcervical level thus conservative management should be considered, however literature lacksregarding the role of conservative physical therapy management of cervical syringomyelia.Case description: A 33 year old man with an idiopathic syrinx at C6-C7 level presented with achief complaint of neck pain, radiating to his right arm, associated with paresthesia involvingIndex and Middle finger and a positive spurling test with postural deviation and associateddisability. Intervention and Outcomes: The patient received physical therapy managementconsisting of pain management, cervical traction, joint mobilization and soft tissue manualtherapy aimed at postural and biomechanical correction in combination with medications. Thepatient’s symptoms improved from 80/100mm to 30/100mm on Visual Analogue Scale and39 to 25 on Neck Disability Index (NDI). Marked improvement was also observed in cervicalposture and Range of Motion (ROM). Discussion and Conclusion: Conservative managementincluding medication and physical therapy of a patient with cervical syrinx do not decreasethe cervical syrinx size but can alleviate patient’s signs and symptoms by postural andbiomechanical correction at the segmental level leading to normalization of spinal curves anddecreased tensional and compressive stress on spinal tissue.

Abstract:

Abstract Aim: Ependymomas compose the majority of all intradural intramedullary spinal lesions. Filum terminale lesions are rarely associated with syringomyelia. Here we describe a case of extramedullary myxopapillary ependymoma associated with extensive syringomyelia located in the filum terminale. Material and Methods: A 34-year-old man admitted to our clinic with complaints of bilateral leg weakness, back pain and urinary dysfunction. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patient showed us a contrast enhanced intraspinal mass at the level of L2 with a syringomyelia extending from L2 level to Th7 level. Results: The patient was operated via lumbar laminoplasty and tumor was totally resected. Conclusion: The removal of tumor is also sufficient for the resolution of syringomyelia and no additional procedure is essential for the treatment of syringomyelia in such cases. This is the first case of extramedullary tumors of the cauda equine with extensive syringomyelia.
