Abstract

We report a case of a 37 year old female with syringomyelia secondary to lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt. Syrinx regression occurred with raised intra-abdominal pressure due to pregnancy and subsequently redeveloped after parturition. To our knowledge a case of pregnancy associated syringomyelia regression has not been previously reported.
