The experiences with a series of 9 patients with syringomyelia treated by syringosubarachnoid shunt (SSS) are presented. All of the cases were evaluated by myelography, CT scan or MNR. The cases showed satisfactory results which consisted in stabilization of the symptoms (55%) or clinical improvement (44%). These results should be continuously evaluated, due to the short follow-up period and to the variable natural history of the illness. Treatment by SSS is a technique of low morbidity. It is recommended for patients with syringomyelia without significant descent of the tonsils or in those cases where posterior fossa operations have failed to obtain good results.
本文介绍了9例采用脊髓蛛网膜下腔分流术（SSS）治疗的脊髓空洞症患者的经验。所有病例均通过脊髓造影、CT扫描或磁共振成像（MNR）进行评估。这些病例显示出令人满意的结果，包括症状稳定（55%）或临床改善（44%）。由于随访期短以及疾病自然史的变异性，这些结果应持续评估。SSS治疗是一种发病率较低的技术。对于扁桃体无明显下移的脊髓空洞症患者或后颅窝手术未能取得良好效果的病例，推荐采用该治疗方法。
