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.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the syringo-subarachnoid shunt for the syringomyelia, according to the clinical outcome and radiological changes. METHODS: Ten patients who underwent syringo-subarachnoid shunt during last 5 years were included in this analysis. The average age at the presentation was 32.6(range 7 to 51) years. Chiari I malformation was found in four patients, Post-infectious syringomyelia was in three patients, and posttraumatic syringomyelia in two patients. The most common presenting symptoms were motor weakness and pain. Radiological diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance image in all patients. All patients underwent syringo-subarachnoid shunt, and in five patients with Chiari I malformation or achondroplasia, foramen magnum decompression was done as well. RESULTS: Eight showed the significant clinical improvement. Remaining two patients showed stabilization of the symptom. The postoperative magnetic resonance image, performed in seven cases, showed the reduction of the syrinx size in all case. There was no shunt malfunction or infection in our series. The transient cerebospinal fluid leakage was noted in three cases. CONCLUSION: It appears that the syringo-subarachnoid shunt is beneficial surgical method for the syringomyelia of various etiologies.

9.Craniovertebral Junction Instability: A Review of Facts about Facets.
Asian Spine Journal 2015;9(4):636-644
Craniovertebral junction surgery involves an appropriate philosophical, biomechanical and anatomical understanding apart from high degree of technical skill and ability of controlling venous and arterial bleeding. The author presents his 30-year experience with treating complex craniovertebral junction instability related surgical issues. The facets of atlas and axis form the primary site of movements at the craniovertebral junction. All craniovertebral junction instability is essentially localized to the atlantoaxial facet joint. Direct manipulation and fixation of the facets forms the basis of treatment for instability.

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.
