Traffic syringomyelia in children does not require surgery under the age of 1 year, but children who have not resolved by the age of 2 years or adults with traffic syringomyelia require surgery. Traffic syringomyelia in children is self-healing, and the younger the patient, the more likely it is to heal, with some children recovering on their own within one year of age. Some children recover on their own within a year. If they do not, surgical treatment is indicated under physician’s evaluation. Traffic syringomyelia in adults is treated surgically and can cause symptoms of scrotal swelling and enlargement. The use of puncture treatment is prone to recurrence, so the main treatment in the clinic is through the surgical way. Patients should choose regular hospitals to avoid adverse symptoms when undergoing surgical treatment for traffic syringomyelia; please consult a doctor in time when discomfort occurs after surgery to avoid delaying the condition.
