MONTALVO-HERDOIZA, Juan Paúl e MOREIRA-VERA, Diana Victoria. Natural Evolution Of Syringomyelia: Case Report. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.1, pp.72-74. ISSN 2631-2581.
Syringomyelia is a chronic degenerative and progressive disease of the spinal cord characterized by a dissociated loss of brachial sensitivity and amyotrophy, with evidence of centromedullary cavitation.
We report the case of a 62-year-old female patient with syringomyelia associated with Arnold Chiari malformation (type 1) who spontaneously rejected any surgical intervention five years after her diagnosis, which has been followed up for 21 years. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrates the natural evolution of syringomyelia from 1998 to the present.
