Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 22950
  • Image ID: 3368515
  • Image stack position: 4/21
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: T2
  • Study description: Postoperative
  • Study findings: There has been a dramatic improvement following posterior fossa decompression, with resection of the margin of occiput, posterior arch of C1, with marked decompression of the foramen Magnum. The syrinx has dramatically decreased in volume. There is no evidence of complication of the surgery. There is no hydrocephalus. Cerebral parenchymal signal intensity and architecture are within normal limits. A moderate-sized C5/6 disc protrusion persists, now more prominent than onprior imaging. Conclusion: A dramatic response to posterior fossa decompression, with a marked decrease in degree of tonsillar herniation, and in the volume of the cervical cord syrinx. Persistent cervical disc protrusion.
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: Cerebellar tonsillar descent is noted with the tonsils extending to at least 10 mm below the level of the foramen magnum. At the level of C2, there is a discrete syrinx. A second syrinx is identified extending from C6 to the midpoint of T3. The remaining spinal cord is normal and the conus ends at L1. No fatty filum identified. Right sided posterolateral disk herniation at C5/6 causes flattening of thecord but without focal edema, just above the more inferior syrinx. Vertebral height, disc height, bone marrow signal and prevertebral soft tissues are normal.  Loss of the normal cervical lordosis.Conclusion:  A type 1 Chiari malformation is identified with secondary syrinx formation in the cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord.  Mild prominence of temporal horns. C5/6 disc as described, would not be related to provided clinical details. No supratentorial abnormality is identified.
