Syringomyelia is characterized by slow progression; the joints involved most frequently are the shoulders and elbows. Neuropathic arthropathy of the hand is quite rare. Herewith, we present a case of neuropathic arthropathy (NA) of the joints in the upper limb secondary to Syringomyelia. Atypical features of the case included NA of the shoulder, elbow and metacarpophalengeal joint in the same upper limb. These atypical features superimposed shoulder subluxation and brachial plexopathy which diagnosed by electrophysiologic studies. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first of its kind that reports a patient who had all the above mentioned symptoms in the same upper limb.
脊髓空洞症的特点是进展缓慢；最常受累的关节是肩部和肘部。手部的神经性关节病相当罕见。在此，我们报告一例继发于脊髓空洞症的上肢关节神经性关节病（NA）病例。该病例的非典型特征包括同一上肢的肩部、肘部和掌指关节的NA。这些非典型特征叠加了肩部半脱位和臂丛神经病变，通过电生理研究得以诊断。据我们所知，我们的研究是首例报告同一上肢出现上述所有症状患者的同类研究。
