Introduction: Syringohydromyelia associated with supratentorial space-occupying lesion has rarely been reported. We present a 28-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with head and neck pain. Upon examination, there was only left central facial paralisia, with no evidence of papilledema.
Methods and Results: Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a left parietal and temporal chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) with a 1-cm shift to the right from midline. Also, cervical MRI revealed a syringohydromyelic cavity at the level of C6/7. The patient was operated on for supratentorial CSH. A follow-up cervical MRI revealed no syringohydromyelic cavity after 2 months. No neurological deficit was reported, and overall outcome was excellent.
Conclusion: Syringohydromyelia was secondary to a space-occupying lesion in our case of supratentorial chronic subdural hematoma.
