    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Posttraumatic syringomyelia is a rare but significant late complication following spinal cord trauma.
    • It can occur months to decades after initial injury, affecting patients with paraplegia or tetraplegia.
    • Literature on this condition, particularly in German publications, is infrequent.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of posttraumatic syringomyelia in paraplegic patients are presented.
    • Symptoms developed 6 months and 3 years post-injury, consistent with known literature.
    • Clinical findings and case histories align with established reports of the condition.

    Findings:

    • Cystic degeneration in the cervical spinal cord was confirmed in one patient using metrizamid-enhanced myelography and computed tomography.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Radiological investigations play a vital role in diagnosing posttraumatic syringomyelia.
  • The study discusses pathogenesis, morphological findings, and treatment options.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering posttraumatic syringomyelia in patients with delayed neurological deterioration after spinal cord injury.
    • Emphasizes the utility of advanced imaging techniques for accurate diagnosis.
    • Contributes to the understanding and management of this infrequent but serious complication.
