    This case study presents cervicothoracic syringomyelia visualized using computer-assisted tomography. Surgical confirmation detailed the extent of spinal cord cavitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Syringomyelia is a rare condition characterized by fluid-filled cavities within the spinal cord.
    • Cervicothoracic syringomyelia specifically affects the neck and upper back regions of the spinal cord.

    Observation:

    • A case of cervicothoracic syringomyelia was identified and visualized using computer-assisted tomography (CT).
    • The imaging modality provided detailed anatomical information regarding the spinal cord cavitation.

    Findings:

    • Computer-assisted tomography successfully demonstrated the presence and extent of syringomyelia in the cervicothoracic region.
    • Surgical verification confirmed the imaging findings, correlating the visualized cavitation with the pathological condition.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the utility of CT in diagnosing cervicothoracic syringomyelia.
    • Accurate visualization is crucial for surgical planning and understanding the full extent of spinal cord involvement.
