ABSTRACT

We report on a 48 years-old man with basilar impression without syringohydromyelia, in which the cisterna magna was impacted by the cerebellar tonsils. Six months after posterior fossa decompression there was the disappearance of nuchal rigidity, vertigo, spastic paraparesis and improvement of balance. Nevertheless hyperreflexia and diminished pallesthesia of the lower limbs persisted.


O presente relato descreve um homem de 48 anos com impressão basilar, sem siringo-hidromielia, no qual a cisterna magna se achava impactada pelas tonsilas cerebelares. O quadro clínico era caracterizado, especialmente, por paraparesia espástica. Seis meses após a descompressão da fossa posterior houve regressão da rigidez de nuca, vertigem, paraparesia espástica inicialmente observadas e melhora do equilíbrio. A hiperreflexia e a hipopalestesia persistiram nos membros inferiores.
