Non-communicating syrinx formation in association with demyelinating disease has been reported in approximately 50 patients. It has been unknown whether this is a permanent or potentially reversible phenomenon. We report a patient with acute transverse myelitis who developed a syrinx that resolved within 6 months. Mechanisms of syrinx formation in demyelinating disease are discussed.
据报道,约50例患者出现与脱髓鞘疾病相关的非交通性空洞形成。目前尚不清楚这是一种永久性现象还是潜在的可逆现象。我们报告了1例急性横贯性脊髓炎患者,其出现的空洞在6个月内消失。本文讨论了脱髓鞘疾病中空洞形成的机制。
