to present evidence for the use of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in the treatment of holocord syrinx.
ETV has been used in the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus and syringomyelia secondary to Chiari 1 malformation. However, there have been no reports of ETV being utilised in the management of a holocord. We report a case of an 18 year old male with a symptomatic holocord syrinx who was successfully treated via ETV.
neurological improvement was noted both immediately and at follow up following ETV.
ETV may represent a viable treatment option for holocord syrinx in some population groups.
为内镜第三脑室造瘘术(ETV)在全脊髓空洞症治疗中的应用提供证据。
ETV 已用于治疗 Chiari 1 畸形引起的梗阻性脑积水和脊髓空洞症。然而,尚无报告称 ETV 用于治疗全脊髓空洞症。我们报告了一例 18 岁男性全脊髓空洞症患者,该患者成功接受了 ETV 治疗。
ETV 后即刻和随访时均观察到神经功能改善。
ETV 可能代表了某些人群全脊髓空洞症的一种可行的治疗选择。
