Syringomyelia after decompressive laminectomy for cervical spondylosis

We describe a case of cervical spondylotic myelopathy in which deterioration occurred a month after decompressive laminectomy. Syringomyelia was then in evidence as seen by myelography and delayed metrizamide computed tomography scanning. The etiology of this finding and its possible relation to the...

Zusammenfassung:We describe a case of cervical spondylotic myelopathy in which deterioration occurred a month after decompressive laminectomy. Syringomyelia was then in evidence as seen by myelography and delayed metrizamide computed tomography scanning. The etiology of this finding and its possible relation to the course and treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy are discussed.
