ABSTRACT
We present a case of symptomatic syringomyelia involving the spinal cord, which was managed by repeated CT-guided percutaneous aspiration, achieving significant decompression by imaging and clinical improvement of lower extremity numbness and weakness. Symptomatic syringomyelia, however, recurred on follow-up, and percutaneous aspiration was repeated four times at the average duration of 22 months. In no aspiration procedure did the patient experienced periprocedural complication. CT-guided percutaneous drainage of syringomyelia is a safe technique, and can be repeated as therapeutic alternative to surgery with temporary improvement of the symptom.
