A patient is described who became paraplegic because of postmeningitic spinal arachnoiditis. Twelve years later, upper limb signs appeared. Syringomyelia of an unusal communicating type was demonstrated by air myelography: Air, introduced by lumbar route, filled syrinx up to the level of the first cervical vertebra, through a communication with the subarachnoid space at the thoracic level.
本文描述了一名因脑膜炎后脊髓蛛网膜炎导致截瘫的患者。12年后，出现了上肢症状。空气脊髓造影显示为一种罕见的交通性脊髓空洞症：经腰椎途径注入的空气通过与胸段蛛网膜下腔的连通，使脊髓空洞一直充盈到第一颈椎水平。
