Description
Rafał Rajski and co-authors report a rare complication after brain surgery and gather every similar case they can find in this 2025 paper. Syringomyelia, a fluid-filled cavity inside the spinal cord, almost never follows an operation. Their patient developed it after a tumor was removed at the skull's base opening.
The team searched three databases under standard review rules and kept only adult cases where the cavity followed a procedure. Five papers qualified, describing five patients. Three were treated with surgery, and two with drainage adjustments or watchful care. Their own patient's cavity grew over two years until symptoms forced an operation. Every patient, theirs included, improved enough to return to daily life. The authors suspect work on the brain's fluid system raises the risk, and they call for more reports to build a standard response.
