Intrameduallary spinal hemangioblastoma is frequently associated with syringomyelia. It grows slowly and can be removed totally. Syringomyelia can be subcided by total removal of tumor and opening of syringomyelia. Two cases of intramedullary spinal hemangioblastomas associated with syringomyelia are reported. Intramedullary tumor and syrinx was easily diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). They are successfully managed by total removal of tumor and opening of syrinx. Patients showed improved neurological status after operations.

Chiari type I malformation is a tonsillar herniation more than 3 mm from the level of foramen magnum, with or without concurrent syringomyelia. Different surgical treatments have been developed for syringomyelia secondary to Chiari's malformations: craniovertebral decompression with or without plugging of the obex, syringo-subarachnoid, syringo-peritoneal, and theco-peritoneal shunt placement. Shunt placement procedures are useful for neurologically symptomatic large-sized syrinx. In this paper, authors define the first successful treatment of a patient with syringomyelia due to Chiari type I malformation using a pre-defined new technique of syringo-subarachnoid-peritoneal shunt with T-tube system.

A case of cervicothoracic intramedullary glioblastoma multiforme associated with syringomyelia is reported. The tumor was located between C5 and T1 level and a large syrinx was found below the tumor, T1-T12. Intramedullary uptake of contrast dye in the delayed CT scan after myelography was seen. The tumor was removed gross totally. And terminal syringotomy was performed.

We have recently managed a case of syringomyelia associated with Chiari I Type malformation. The syrinx was found at C2 level to T10 level. And the patient complained left forearm pain and paresthesia in left shoulder, arm with segmental dissociated sensory loss. The cranio-vertebral decompression(suboccipital craniectomy, cervical laminectomy) and the shunting procedures were performed. Postoperative course was not uneven, the clinical and neurological improvement was observed. M.R.I. permitted rapid, exact diagnosis including localization of syrinx and information of associated anomaly.

The authors present a case of syringomyelia with postlaminectmy kyphosis. Twenty six year-old male, who received a operation 11 years ago for intradural cervical schwannoma. The patient visited our hospital for the evaluation of the quadripresis of recent onset. Preoperative magnetic resonance(MR) images revealed syringomyelia from C2 to T2. With phase contrast Cine MR image, cerebrospinal fluid dynamics were evaluated preoperatively and after surgical correction of kyphosis. The authors present the pathophysiology of syringomyelia and the selection of surgical procedure on basis of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics of syringomyelia.
