Sumario: | Syringomyelia and syringobulbia continue to remain a diagnosis without widely accepted treatment paradigms. Furthermore, the currently available treatment options can be complicated by delayed symptom recurrence and the need for revision surgery. Revision intradural surgery is challenging, and currently, there is a paucity of literature describing safe techniques for revision syringotomy and shunt placement. In this technical report, we present a surgical video describing the technique of revision syringo-subarachnoid shunt placement in a 61-year-old female with a history of multiple intradural surgeries who presented with progressively symptomatic ascending syringobulbia. |
