Spontaneous Syringomyelia Resolution at an Adult Chiari Type 1 Malformation
Gaziosmanpasa Universitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi, Tokat, Turkey
We present a 41-year-old man with Chiari type 1 malformation and cervical
syringomyelia. Although the tonsillar herniation persisted, his syringomyelia
was almost completely resolved during an eleven-year time period without
surgery.
