Abstract

Syringomyelia is an uncommon, but disabling complicatic of spinal cord injuries. The authors presented a female patie with syringomyelia, in whom diagnosis was made 14 yea after the initial trauma and decompression was performs three years thereafter. Decompression was carried out via anterior approach without any complication. The result at tl end of a three-year follow-up was satisfactory with improv ment in her neurologic symptoms. This case indicates th decompression can be of benefit even though it is performf late after the occurrence of neural compression and emph sizes the need for a thorough examination of the sympton before planning treatment.

Özet

Siringomiyeli omurilik yaralanmasının nadir görülen, ancak ciddi olabilen bir komplikasyonudur. Bu yazıda, travmadan 14 yıl sonra tanı konmuş ve bundan üç yıl sonra dekompresyon yapılmış bir kadın hasta sunuldu. Dekompresyon anterior yaklaşımla herhangi bir komplikasyon olmadan gerçekleştirildi ve üç yıllık izlem süresi içinde hastanın nörolojik semptomlarında gerileme ile tatmin edici sonuç elde edildi. Dekompresyonun, nöral bası oluşmasından yıllar sonra yapıldığında bile faydalı olduğu görüldü. Semptomlara neden olan durumun doğru saptanması tedavinin doğru planlanması için gereklidir.
