Rapid progression of acute cervical syringomyelia: A case report of delayed complications following spinal cord injury.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first case report to summarize the delayed complications of a spinal cord injury and acute syringomyelia progression to the brainstem in a short period. The symptoms were relieved by an emergency PFD, chosen due to the rapid progression of symptoms. An atypical treatment strategy is described for extremely rare cases, but with a good short-term prognosis.
