Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate whether syrinx should by treated before correction in patients with scoliosis complicated by syringomyelia without neurologic impairment. [Method]Thirty-five cases were divided into experimental group(group A,without preoperative surgical intervention to syrinx,15 cases)and control group(group B,with preoperative surgical intervention,20 cases) randomly. The coronal plane Cobb's angle,the length of syrinx,the position of syrinx,the biggest diameter of syrinx and S/C ratio were measured and compared between 2 groups.[Result]There was no significant difference in the correction rate and loss rate between two groups.The postoperative syrinx index(biggest diameter of syrinx,syrinx length and S/C ratio) was significantly smaller than that of preoperation(P
