Abstract | Background: Surgical treatment of syringomyelia is directed at the reconstruction of the subarachnoid space and restoration normal cerebrospinal fluid flow. Direct intervention on the syrinx is a rescue procedure and should be offered to patients with refractory syringomyelia. Methods: We provide an overview on indications and technique of syringopleural shunt (SPS). The procedure involves the connection of syrinx with the pleural space using a lumboperitoneal shunt. The occurrence of a negative pressure inside the pleural compartment offers an appropriate gradient for drainage from the syrinx. Conclusions: The SPS allows for a safe and effective treatment of persistent syringomyelia when management of the underlying cause does not yield substantial improvement. |
