    Author: Grahovac G, Vilendecic M, Srdoc D.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 2011 Aug; 123(15-16):512-4. PubMed ID: 21739211.
    Abstract:
    We are presenting a case report of neuropathic arthropathy of the shoulder secondary to a syringomyelia and Chiari type I malformation, with detailed clinical and radiological findings. Neuropathic joints were first described in 1868 by Charcot, and subsequently were described in many types of peripheral diseases and central neuron diseases. There are many causes of syringomyelia, and one of the causes of this disease is a Chiari type I malformation. Subsequently, shoulders and elbows are most commonly affected by syringomyelia-induced neuropathy. Our patient was observed for six years after being diagnosed with neuropathic arthropathy and syringomyelia caused by Chiari and did not show any disease progression after their surgery.
