  • Title: Post-meningitic hydrocephalus and syringomyelia treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
    Author: McLone DG, Siqueira EB.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1976 Dec; 6(6):323-5. PubMed ID: 1006504.
    Abstract:
    Following cryptococcal meningitis, symptoms of cervical syringomyelia developed in a young heroin addict. Myelography confirmed syringomyelia and angiography demonstrated severe hydrocephalus. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting resulted in complete resolution of signs and symptoms of both hydrocephalus and syringomyelia.
