Abstract
The case of a 30-year-old man with posttraumatic syringomyelia involvi ng the cervical and upper thoracic spine is reported. The patient was followed clinically and with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging over a 3- year period. Spontaneous complete remission of the syrinx-related symp toms correlated with a partial collapse of the syrinx, as proved by se rial MR imaging.
