Long-term neurological sequelae in achondroplasia

Abstract

Two children with achondroplasia and neurologic sequelae secondary to foramen magnum compression were found to have syringomyelia. In one patient, the cyst was associated with a subependymal glioma. These findings suggest that foramen magnum stenosis may lead to irreversible spinal cord damage.
