ABSTRACT
Presyrinx consists of reversible spinal cord swelling without frank cavitation, as observed on T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The condition may evolve into syringomyelia, but timely surgical interventions have achieved meaningful results. Here, we report the case of a 27-year-old woman who presented with headache, dizziness, and diplopia 2 months after suffering a mild head trauma. On MRI, hydrocephalus, downward herniation of the cerebellar tonsil, and a diffuse high signal change in the cervical spinal cord were detected. After insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, her neurological symptoms resolved, and she has had no signs of presyrinx recurrence for >4 years.
