This paper presents three patients with a triad of syringomyelia, midline posterior fossa cysts, and hydrocephalus. In the first patient, the clinical presentation was related to spinal cord cavitation, and the cranial anomalies were unexpected. In cases 2 and 3, the brain anomalies dominated the clinical picture, and syringomyelia was unexpected. These cases show that an examination of the whole neuraxis is as important in patients with midline posterior fossa cysts as it is in patients with developmental syringomyelia or Chiari I malformation.
本文介绍了三名患有脊髓空洞症、后颅窝中线囊肿和脑积水三联征的患者。在首例患者中,临床表现与脊髓空洞形成有关,而颅骨异常则出乎意料。在病例2和病例3中,脑部异常主导了临床表现,而脊髓空洞症则出乎意料。这些病例表明,对整个神经轴进行检查,对于患有后颅窝中线囊肿的患者而言,与患有发育性脊髓空洞症或Chiari I畸形的患者同样重要。
