Syringomyelia as a complication of spinal arachnoiditis.

SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The authors report a 46-year-old female patient who was referred to this unit for assessment of chronic postsurgical back pain. She reported severe burning pain in the lumbar region accompanied by burning pain and loss of sensation in the lower limbs. She had previously undergone lumbar spinal surgery on three occasions preceded by myelography. METHODS: Examination revealed generalized weakness and hypertonicity of both lower limbs with loss of all sensory modalities below D7. RESULTS: The MRI scanning of the thoracic spine showed an extensive complex syrinx within the thoracic cord. CONCLUSIONS: She underwent syringopleural shunting, and her condition has remained stable.

Spondylolysis associated with Arnold-Chiari malformation and syringomyelia. A report of two cases.

STUDY DESIGN: This is a report of two cases. OBJECTIVE: To document the occurrence and association of spondylolysis and Arnold-Chiari malformation Type I. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The association of spinal dysraphism has been reported with Arnold-Chiari Type II, but not with Arnold-Chiari Type I. METHODS: The senior author was involved in the care of these patients. All medical records, laboratory and radiologic investigations, and related literature were reviewed. RESULTS: The presence of cephalic and caudal neuropore maldevelopment may be present in various combinations. The presence of spondylolysis, with or without spina bifida occulta, associated with Arnold-Chiari malformation type I and syringohydromyelia, is demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS: In some patients, the presence of spondylolysis may represent a congenital anomaly and may be associated with cephalic neuropore maldevelopment, such as cerebromedullary malformation syndrome (i.e., Arnold-Chiari malformation Type I).
