OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to analyze a series of traumatic @entity1566 ( @entity1566 ) @entity1 with a diagnosis of syrinx who had recurrence of symptomatic syrinx following surgical intervention. DESIGN: This is a @entity1 series. SETTING: The study was conducted in an acute inpatient rehabilitation facility. @entity1 : @entity1 included @entity1 (N=6) with @entity1644 ( @entity1644 ) who had recurrent syrinx despite surgical repair. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measures were time period between injury and clinical manifestations of @entity1644 , time to recurrence and presenting symptoms. RESULTS: Among the six @entity1 , there is great variability between time of the initial @entity1566 and the development of syrinx. In terms of time periods between diagnosis of syrinx and recurrence of syrinx, there is also some variability (ranging from 6 to 936 weeks). The median length of time to recurrence was 104 weeks. In all cases, the presenting symptom was ultimately weakness, and in most cases it was associated with rising @entity51 . Notably, all @entity1 were male, aged 31-55 years, had suffered diffuse traumatic @entity1566 and four of six @entity1 lost the ability to ambulate because of syrinx formation. CONCLUSIONS: This series suggests that there may be risk factors for developing @entity1644 . We question whether there is a relationship between American @entity3510 Association Impairment Scale grade and recurrence of @entity1644 . We need to look closely at these @entity1 to see whether there are modifiable risk factors that may minimize their chance of developing @entity1644 . Once these are identified, there may be a role in routine screening of all @entity1 and particularly those who may be at an increased risk for @entity1644 to avoid loss of ambulatory function.
