We present the first described case of cervical vertebral fusion associated with anterior meningocele and syringomyelia. A 45-year-old woman presented with minor trauma, and plain cervical spine radiographs highlighted a congenital deformity of the cervical vertebral bodies. She had a normal neurological examination; however, further imaging revealed a meningocele and syringomyelia. This case highlights the importance of thorough imaging investigation when presented with a congenital deformity in order to detect and prevent development of degenerative spinal cord pathologies.
我们报告首例描述的颈椎融合合并前侧脑脊膜膨出和脊髓空洞症的病例。一名45岁女性因轻度外伤就诊,颈椎X线平片显示颈椎椎体先天性畸形。她的神经系统检查正常;然而,进一步影像学检查发现了脑脊膜膨出和脊髓空洞症。该病例强调了对于先天性畸形患者进行全面影像学检查以检测和预防退行性脊髓病变发展的重要性。
