Acute cervical cord syrinx after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.
We report the acute formation of a cervical cord syrinx after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, followed by spontaneous resolution. To our knowledge, not previously described in the literature, this case provides further insights into the pathophysiology of syrinx formation, and is discussed with reference to prevailing theories.
