    Abstract:
    Cervicothoracic syringomyelia is a frequent feature in Chiari I malformation. It can be symptomatic or not, and is well demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Its spontaneous resolution is uncommon. The authors report a case of spontaneous resolution of a thoracic syrinx in an 18-year-old patient with a Chiari I malformation. MRI study performed 6 years previously because of worsening headaches demonstrated a Chiari I malformation associated with a syrinx cavity. The cavity disappearance was noted after improvement of the symptoms.
