Abstract
- Syringomyelia is caused by heterogeneous etiologies. Syringomyelia secondary to arachnoiditis complicated by tuberculous meningitis is rarely reported entity, which has not been reported in Korea. We present a patient who had recovered from tuberculous meningitis and developed some years later a progessive disorder of the spinal cord clinically resembling syringomyelia, which was subsequently confirmed by MRI. The patient was treated with syringo-subarachnoid shunt.
