Abstract A case of giant syringobulbia with syringomyelia extending to the upper dorsal region is reported. The case occurred in a 3.5-year-old girl who presented with a history of frequent bouts of severe pain in the lower neck and the shoulder blades. Simple decompression of the syrinx by open myelotomy resulted in prompt relief and reversal of symptoms.
