Abstract
Post-traumatic syringomyelia is estimated to develop in more than 20% of individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). The development can give rise to clinical symptoms 6 months to 26 years after the injury, and presentation 40 years post-injury has been seen by one of the authors. We present an unusual case for comments and discussion.
