Abstract
Syringomyelia is an abnormal cystic dilatation of the spinal cord caused by excessive accumulation of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). The pathophysiology remains complex and unelucidated. We report a rare case of resolution of cervico-thoracic syringomyelia after thoracic disc excision in a 3 months follow-up time.
