Abstract:
The case of a 30-year-old man with posttraumatic syringomyelia involving the cervical and upper thoracic spine is reported. The patient was followed clinically and with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging over a 3-year period. Spontaneous complete remission of the syrinx-related symptoms correlated with a partial collapse of the syrinx, as proved by serial MR imaging.
