case_images: (a) Case 1: Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the cervical spine. T2-weighted MRI scan in the sagittal plane, showing a Chiari type I malformation (CMI) and a holocord syrinx with syringobulbia (arrow). An axial MRI scan was obtained at the foramen magnum level, demonstrating the slit-like syrinx in the right dorsal region of the lower medulla. (b) Case 1: Postoperative MRI scans of the cervical spine obtained 3 months after surgery. T2-weighted MRI scan in the sagittal plane, demonstrating decompression of medulla oblongata and cerebellar tonsils at the foramen magnum. The syringobulbia has collapsed. The cervical syringomyelia is slightly decreased in size but remains and (c) Case 2: MRI scans of the cervical spine. T2-weighted MRI scan in the sagittal plane, showing a CMI and a syrinx from the high cervical to the C3-5 level. Axial MRI scan was obtained at the foramen magnum and C3-5 level, demonstrating the syrinx in the mid-ventral region.
