Abstract
A patient who had undergone ventriculoperitoneal shunting developed upper cervical myelopathy. His CSF pressure was markedly low, and deformation of the spinal cord and shrinkage of the subarachnoid space at the upper cervical level were found in radiologic examinations. Ligation of the shunt tube resulted in almost complete recovery. The effect of excessive drainage may have caused the abnormalities.
