Abstract
- We describe a case of syringomyelia associated with type I Chiari malformation treated with syringostomy using myringostomy tube. The syrinx was found at C2 to C5 level, and the patient presented with quadriparesis and both shoulder pain. We performed extensive suboccipital craniectomy, C1 laminectomy, duroplasty, and then syringostomy using myringostomy tube. Postoperatively, the clinical and neurological improvement was noted and MRI showed reduced size of syrinx.
