“…ISH usually has an acute onset with rapid progression of pre-existing signs [19,34,35,36,37], although it may take a chronic course [17, 18, 38]. Our literature review did not reveal any previous record of cerebellar medulloblastoma associated with ISH [17,18,19,20,21,33,34,35,36,37,38,39]. Although, an unusual case of ISH associated with a spinal cavernous malformation that developed 13 years after treatment of medulloblastoma and spinal irradiation has been reported [16].…”

“…Apart from syrinx due to spinal spread of medulloblastoma [10,11,12], to the best of our knowledge only 4 patients with syringomyelia linked to cerebellar medulloblastoma have been reported [13,14,15,16]. On the other hand, the association between medulloblastoma and intrasyringal hemorrhage (ISH) is a peculiarity which has not been recorded in the medical literature, albeit ISH has occasionally been described [17,18,19,20,21]. …”

“…According to Perot et al [20], such bleeding was first described by Gowers in 1904 [19]. ISH usually has an acute onset with rapid progression of pre-existing signs [19,34,35,36,37], although it may take a chronic course [17, 18, 38].…”

Syringomyelia is frequently associated with Chiari malformation or one of many otherpathological conditions. Its co-occurrence with medulloblastoma is rare, and to our knowledge, only 4 patients have been reported, although some reports have documented on syringomyelia associated with intracranial processes or intramedullary tumor. The authors describe an unusual case of asymptomatic thoracic syringomyelia complicated by an intrasyringal hemorrhage in a child with medulloblastoma. This report illustrates that, although unusual, syringomyelia is a potential complication in the natural history of medulloblastoma, and the authors consider the possible pathogenesis of syrinx enlargement.

“…In the adult population, hematomyelia has been reported to be due to trauma, arteriovenous malformation, cavernous angioma, dural arteriovenous fistula, neoplasm, anticoagulant therapy, syringomyelia, blood dyscrasia of different types, such as hemophilia, von Willebrand’s disease and factor XI deficiency, thoracic disc hernia, benzene poisoning and cervical spine manipulation [1, 2, 3, 4, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43]. Matsumura et al [44]reported two cases of idiopathic chronic progressive hematomyelia in adults managed surgically with a good outcome, emphasizing that acute and chronic onset have different prognoses.…”

“…Bleeding due to vascular malformations, blood dyscrasia, syringomyelia, neoplastic growths and anticoagulant treatment are the most familiar reasons for the pathology [1, 2, 3, 4]. Very rare cases such as infantile hematomyelia after vigorous resuscitation with apparent electrical cardioversion have been reported [5].…”

Cervical Hematomyelia: A Rare Entity in a Neonate with Cesarean Section and Surgical Recovery

et al. 2002

Spinal cord injury with or without trauma has been reported in the perinatal period. The prognosis depends primarily on diagnosis of the level, extent and nature of the lesion, established by correlations between clinical, imaging and electrophysiological data. A 25-day-old boy with normal birth weight delivered at term by cesarean section was transferred to Inönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center because of respiratory distress and brachial diplegia. A suspicious medullary lesion on cervical computerized tomography was confirmed as an intramedullary lesion extending from C3 to D1 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Emergent surgery consisting of exposure of the lesion site and interlaminar direct puncture of the lesion under fluoroscopy revealed that the pathology was an intramedullary hematoma. The partial evacuation of the lesion with direct puncture, the patient’s neurological improvement and close follow-up of the patient with ultrasonography, electrophysiology and MRI are discussed in the light of recent literature.
