Neuro-ophthalmologic complications of syringobulbia.

Syringobulbia is an uncommon condition, usually a late complication of syringomyelia. It has predilection for the dorsolateral region of the medulla leading to damage to vestibular nuclei and their connections, as well as to the descending sympathetic fibers. Oscillopsia, nystagmus, and Horner syndrome are frequent manifestations of syringobulbia. Oscillopsia may be a disturbing symptom for the patient, whereas Horner syndrome is usually an asymptomatic finding. MRI detection of syringomyelia has led to earlier treatment of syringomyelia and prevention of upward extension of the cavity. This probably explains why syringobulbia is less frequently encountered at present. We propose to describe the neuro-ophthalmologic symptoms and signs that may be observed in patients with syringobulbia and the mechanisms involved in their appearance.[1]
