Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Cord Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques

Background:

  • Posttraumatic syringomyelia lacks a preferred surgical treatment.
  • Current neurosurgical options include syringopleural shunting and arachnoidolysis.
  • A new combined technique is presented for improved outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old male with chronic posttraumatic syringomyelia (T4-5 syrinx) presented with pain, spasticity, paraparesis, and incontinence.
  • The patient underwent a novel procedure combining syringopleural shunt with bilateral subarachnoid-subarachnoid catheters.
  • The surgery was performed under surgical microscope with minimal operative time and blood loss.

Findings:

  • Postoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed syrinx regression at 6 months.
  • Complete syrinx decompression was observed at 3-year follow-up.
  • The patient experienced mild improvement in preoperative symptoms, with full recovery by 3 years.

Implications:

  • This combined minimally invasive technique offers a potentially effective and safe approach for posttraumatic syringomyelia.
  • The procedure resulted in significant clinical improvement and radiological syrinx resolution.
  • Further studies are warranted to validate this technique in a larger patient cohort.
