What to do if traffic syringomyelia recurs

Recurrence of traffic syringomyelia needs to be observed first, and surgical treatment needs to be considered if the condition does not resolve. Traffic syringomyelia is a phenomenon in which the syringomyelia protrudes from the sheath and does not close, causing the syringomyelia sac to communicate with the abdominal cavity, resulting in a buildup of fluid in the syringomyelia sac. If a child under 1 year of age has a recurrence of traffic syringomyelia after treatment, it can be observed. This is because there is a possibility of spontaneous healing. If the effusion gradually decreases over time, then surgical treatment is not necessary. If the recurrence of syringomyelia is followed by a gradual increase in fluid over time, then timely surgical treatment is needed. If traffic syringomyelia occurs after the age of 2 years and the syringomyelia continues to increase, surgery is recommended. If traffic syringomyelia recurs after surgery, then another surgery is needed in a timely manner. It is important to seek medical attention after a recurrence of traffic syringomyelia, and it is up to the doctor to decide how to treat it and whether to treat it with observation.
