  • Title: Spontaneous resolution of a Chiari I malformation associated syringomyelia in one child.
    Author: Guillen A, Costa JM.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2004 Feb; 146(2):187-91. PubMed ID: 14963755.
    Abstract:
    A child with complete spontaneous resolution of a Chiari I malformation associated Syringomyelia without surgical intervention is presented. The child was followed clinically by serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and remains neurologically stable after 8-years of follow-up. To our knowledge, only 6 pediatric cases with spontaneous resolution of a spinal cord syrinx documented by MRI without surgical intervention have been reported. This case is of interest in the light of the postulated theories to explain spontaneous resolution of syringomyelia.
