Abstract
The aetiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of post-traumatic syringomyelia is discussed. The data collected from clinical observation, radiodiagnostic methods, and operative findings are illustrated. It is concluded that at least five different processes may contribute to this progressive disease. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms could help in patient management.Keywords
