Evolution of post-traumatic cervical syringomyelia: Case report

Abstract

A patient with complete post-traumatic paraplegia below T6 developed urinary problems and late secondary syringolmyelia. The concordance between the appearance of micturition difficulties and the first sensory symptoms leads us to discuss the role of important and repeated efforts to obtain reflex micturition, during the development of post-traumatic syringomyelia. © 1988 International Medical Society of Paraplegia.
