A case of symptomatic syringomyelia which appeared six years after Listeria meningoencephalitis is described. Chronic spinal arachnoiditis, as shown by standard MRI and dynamic phase contrast (PC) cine-MRI, may occur after spinal infection and is likely the cause of syringomyelia. To our knowledge, there are no previous reports of delayed spinal complications following Listeria monocytogenes infection. The possibility of developing syringomyelia should be always considered in any patient with a history of central nervous system infection.
本文描述了一例在李斯特菌性脑膜脑炎六年后出现症状性脊髓空洞症的病例。标准MRI和动态相位对比（PC）电影MRI显示，慢性脊髓蛛网膜炎可能发生在脊髓感染后，并且很可能是脊髓空洞症的病因。据我们所知，此前尚无关于单核细胞增生李斯特菌感染后延迟性脊髓并发症的报道。对于任何有中枢神经系统感染病史的患者，都应始终考虑发生脊髓空洞症的可能性。
