Abstract
The authors describe the presence of a syrinx in a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The likely pathophysiological basis of this hitherto unreported association is also presented. It is believed that chronic obstruction at the foramen magnum may be the most important factor for the development of syringes.
