We have recently managed a case of syringomyelia associated with Chiari ⅠType malformation. The syrinx was found at C₂ level to T_(10) level. And the patient complained left forearm pain and paresthesia in left shoulder, arm with segmental dissociated sensory loss.
The cranio-vertebral decomression(suboccipital craniectomy, cervical laminectomy) and the shunting procedures were performed. Postoperative course was not uneven, the clinical and neurological improvement was observed.
M.R.I. permitted rapid, exact diagnosis including localization of syrinx and information of associated anormaly.
