Abstract:
Syringomyelia may complicate cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). We describe a case of CSM with instability at C3/4 and a cervicothoracic syrinx which was demonstrated using magnetic resonance imaging. Decompression and stabilization, without drainage of the syrinx, were adequate surgical treatment.
