Introduction:
Neurosurgical treatment is recommended for symptomatic syringomyelia and the post-operative radiological resolution of the syringomyelia is associated with an improvement or at least stability of the patient's pre-operative symptoms.
Methods:
We reviewed syringomyelia treatment in our centre over the last five years for clinical outcome, surgical complications, post operative MRI and long term symptom resolution.
Results:
50 cases of symptomatic syringomyelia underwent foramen magnum decompression and expansile watertight duroplasty. While the outcomes for majority are similar to what published in literature, three of them developed typical syringomyelia symptoms after initial good recovery and radiological resolution of syrinx.
Conclusion:
Syringomyelia symptoms may appear or worsen following successful surgical treatment and radiological resolution of syrinx and it is important to counsel young people and their family regarding this.
