Syringomyelia and its surgical treatment--an analysis of 75 patients.
Open accessAbstract
A consecutive series of 75 patients with syringomyelia is presented, all of whom were treated by cranio-vertebral operations. Attention is drawn to the difficulty in assessing the results of treatment but 56 stabilised or showed modest improvement after surgery. Occluding the central canal appeared to have no greater influence on the progression of the disease than did simple decompression and did have a higher incidence of complications. Upper motor neurone weakness, joint position sense and central neck pain are the features most likely to improve and it is concluded that relieving the medullary compression resulting from a Chiari type 1 malformation, rather than influencing the syrinx, is the means by which this may occur. Simple decompression with preservation of the arachnoid membrane, combined with syringostomy in certain cases, is recommended.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
