Holocord Syrinx Associated with Shunt Malfunction in Tetraventricular Hydrocephalus.

Abstract:

:We present an uncommon case of holocord, "rosary bead-like," multiloculated syringomyelia consistent with a fourth ventricle outlet obstruction in a 2-month-old infant who was previously shunted for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus of prematurity. The shunt malfunction resulted in a syringomyelia because of the simultaneous obstruction of the 3 outlets of the fourth ventricle, resulting in an enlargement of the central canal of the spinal cord. The syringomyelia resolved with shunt revision, avoiding further complex surgical procedures.

  • Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization for Recurrent Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Case Series.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Embolization of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) has recently been proposed as an alternative to surgery for treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (SDH). There is increasing evidence that fragile neovasculature arising from distal branches of the MMA found within the membrane that forms around a chronic SD...
