  • Title: Syringomyelia in children with primary scoliosis.
    Author: Hanieh A, Sutherland A, Foster B, Cundy P.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 2000 Apr; 16(4):200-2. PubMed ID: 10855515.
    Abstract:
    The clinical notes of 35 children presenting with scoliosis were reviewed; all 35 had been investigated with MRI. Seven were found to have syringomyelia, and six of these had Chiari malformation. Correction of the syrinx resulted in improvement or stabilisation of the spinal curvature. We recommend that all cases presenting with primary scoliosis should have MRI and should be treated if a syrinx is found.
