Abstract:
Miyazaki syndrome is a rare complication in patients with ventricular shunts, characterised by cervical myelopathy from cerebrospinal fluid overdrainage. Here we report a case of a young woman with a history of hydrocephalus who had a ventricular shunt placed in infancy, presenting to our department with signs and symptoms of myelopathy due to overshunting. This diagnosis is challenging because of the frequent absence of typical signs of intracranial hypotension, leading to delays in treatment, which carries the risk of potentially devastating consequences.
