Post-meningitic hydrocephalus and syringomyelia treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

D G McLone, E B Siqueira.   

Abstract

Following cryptococcal meningitis, symptoms of cervical syringomyelia developed in a young heroin addict. Myelography confirmed syringomyelia and angiography demonstrated severe hydrocephalus. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting resulted in complete resolution of signs and symptoms of both hydrocephalus and syringomyelia.
