Abstract
Introduction
Syringomyelia is present in 40% of pediatric patients with Chiari malformation. Typically treated with posterior fossa decompression, some cases require further intervention such as syrinx shunting.
Case report
We report a 16-year-old female with Chiari type 1 malformation and syringomyelia who underwent posterior fossa decompression and subsequent free syringo-subarachnoid-peritoneal shunting. The patient developed symptoms of CSF overdrainage, and imaging indicated CSF hypotension. A distal catheter ligation temporarily improved symptoms, but eventually, a programmable ventricular shunt was necessary due to shunt dependence.
Conclusion
This case highlights the rare complication of CSF overdrainage from syrinx shunting and the importance of shunt selection considerations.
期刊介绍：
The journal has been expanded to encompass all aspects of pediatric neurosciences concerning the developmental and acquired abnormalities of the nervous system and its coverings, functional disorders, epilepsy, spasticity, basic and clinical neuro-oncology, rehabilitation and trauma. Global pediatric neurosurgery is an additional field of interest that will be considered for publication in the journal.
