title: Syringohydromyelia in association with syringobulbia and syringocephaly: case report.
abstract: The authors present the case of a 14-year-old boy with holocord syringohydromyelia extending into the brainstem, cerebral peduncle, internal capsule, and cerebral cortex. At the posterior fossa exploration, an opaque thickened arachnoid with occlusion of the foramen of Magendie was encountered. Careful documentation of postoperative regression of the syringocephaly, syringobulbia, and syringohydromyelia was made. The pathophysiology is discussed.
