Hydromyelia associated with arrested hydrocephalus. 1988

D M Olson, and J M Milstein
Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington, Seattle.

A 16-year-old male with a 9-year history of spontaneously arrested hydrocephalus was noted to have hydrosyringomyelia and increased intracranial pressure shortly after sustaining minor head trauma. His symptoms resolved completely following ventriculoperitoneal shunt replacement. Hydrosyringomyelia may occur in the setting of long-standing, apparently arrested hydrocephalus.

D013595 Syringomyelia Longitudinal cavities in the spinal cord, most often in the cervical region, which may extend for multiple spinal levels. The cavities are lined by dense, gliogenous tissue and may be associated with SPINAL CORD NEOPLASMS; spinal cord traumatic injuries; and vascular malformations. Syringomyelia is marked clinically by pain and PARESTHESIA, muscular atrophy of the hands, and analgesia with thermoanesthesia of the hands and arms, but with the tactile sense preserved (sensory dissociation). Lower extremity spasticity and incontinence may also develop.
