Syrinx regression after correction of iatrogenic kyphotic deformity: illustrative case

BACKGROUND: Syringomyelia has a long-established association with pediatric scoliosis, but few data exist on the relationship of syringomyelia to pediatric kyphotic deformities. OBSERVATIONS: This report reviewed a unique case of rapid and sustained regression of syringomyelia in a 13-year-old girl...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Syringomyelia has a long-established association with pediatric scoliosis, but few data exist on the relationship of syringomyelia to pediatric kyphotic deformities. OBSERVATIONS: This report reviewed a unique case of rapid and sustained regression of syringomyelia in a 13-year-old girl after surgical correction of iatrogenic kyphotic deformity. LESSONS: In cases of syringomyelia associated with acquired spinal deformity, treatment of deformity to resolve an associated subarachnoid block should be considered because it may obviate the need for direct treatment of syrinx.
