A 38-year-old woman with Chiari I malformation presented with spinal cord edema preceding syringomyelia manifesting as a 5-month history of nuchal pain and numbness of the upper extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging showed spinal cord edema, a poorly defined syrinx at the C-2 to T-2 levels, and
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are rare and can result in spinal cord dysfunction. We present one such case wherein the patient presented with a venous congestive myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a syrinx formation, spinal cord edema, and flow voids. Digital subtraction
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between the expression of MMP-9 and the formation of spinal cord edema in presyrinx state of experimental syringomyelia in rabbits and evaluate the inhibitory function of doxycycline in the formation of spinal cord edema in presyrinx state.
METHODS
A total
The authors present the case of a 13-year-old boy who experienced frequent disabling episodes of typical postural induced headaches, which revealed a Chiari I malformation, syringomyelia and cervical spinal cord edema. This boy had received a valveless lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt at the age of 18
This report describes a new and reliable technique for producing experimental noncommunicating syringomyelia. In 30 rats, 1.2 to 1.6 microliters of kaolin was microinjected into the dorsal columns and central gray matter of the spinal cord at C-6. The inoculations caused transient neurological
The histological changes associated with syringomyelia after reduction of the syrinx size were investigated after cerebrospinal fluid shunting in experimental syringomyelia in the rabbit. Five weeks after syringomyelia was induced by the injection of kaolin into the cisterna magna in Japanese white
Asymmetric anonychia, skin edema, and painless ulceration of the fingers may be the first symptoms of syringomyelia. Neurologic examination of the patient leads to the diagnosis, which can be proved by the demonstration of the cavity in the central spinal cord. Prophylactic dermatologic treatment
OBJECTIVE
Spinal arachnoid scarring may be caused by trauma, inflammation, surgery, spinal instability, degenerative diseases, or malformations and may lead to progressive neurological deficits and syringomyelia. We wanted to investigate the effects of focal arachnoid scarring in the cervical spinal
Hydrosyringomyelia was produced experimentally by the injection of kaolin into the cisterna magna of the rabbit, and the ultrastructural changes of the spinal cord surrounding the syrinx were investigated 2, 4, and 6 weeks after injection by transmission electron microscopy. The ependyma at the
Accidental intra-arterial injection is a potentially devastating complication of the intragluteal injection of benzathine penicillin. A 35-year-old woman developed after intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin G acute paraplegia and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Noninvasive positive
BACKGROUND
In human hydrosyringomyelia and in the late stage of experimental syringomyelia, the spinal cord tissue adjacent to the syrinx is exposed to a similar pathophysiologic condition. We investigated the ultrastructural changes in the late stages of kaolin-induced syringomyelia, and in
OBJECTIVE
Noncommunicating canalicular syringomyelia occurs in up to 65% of patients with Chiari malformation Type I. The pathogenesis of this type of syringomyelia is poorly understood and treatment is not always effective. Although it is generally thought that syringomyelia is simply an
OBJECTIVE
Syringomyelia is a formation of fluid-filled cavities in the spinal cord, caused by a number of situations including trauma. To understand the origin and progression of syringomyelia, animal models were developed to mimick the condition and computer models were implemented for performing
Peritumoral cysts (those arising immediately adjacent to the tumor mass) are frequently associated with benign and malignant tumors of the brain and spinal cord (syringomyelia). The cystic component of central nervous system (CNS) tumors and associated peritumoral cysts are often the cause of
