Spontaneous syringomyelia resolution at an adult Chiari type 1 malformation.
We present a 41-year-old man with Chiari type 1 malformation and cervical syringomyelia. Although the tonsillar herniation persisted, his syringomyelia was almost completely resolved during an eleven-year time period without surgery.
