Abstract

We reported a case of syringomyelia in a 9 year old boy. His major problem was left side hemiparesis and sensory loss. Diagnosis was made by myelography and spinal CT with the use of metrizamide, and was confirmed by surgical exploration. The hemiparesis and sensory loss improved after lamincetomy and decompression.
