Syringomyelia refers to the presence of cavities within the spinal cord or a dilatation of the central spinal cord canal. In 90% of cases, syringomyelia is associated with a Chiari I malformation. The association of syringomyelia with tethered cord is well known but syrinxes associated with these defects are usually below vertebral level T6. Holocord syrinx associated with tethered cord is rare and is almost always associated with Chiari 1 malformation. To the best of our knowledge, only a single case report of holocord syrinx with tethered cord has been reported, but this patient had multiple overt lumbosacral defects (tethered cord, meningocele and diastematomyelia). We are reporting a three year old child with holocord syrinx with tethered cord and diastematomyelia and no evidence of Chiari malformation, meningocele or any overt spinal malformation and minimal neurological abnormalities.

Neurologic sequalae of Noonan syndrome have been postulated in the literature. A topic of significance is the role of RASopathy in the shared pathophysiology of Noonan Syndrome and Chiari I malformation. In this unique case report, we present a patient with concomitant Noonan Syndrome and Chiari I with 4th ventricular outflow obstruction. The case highlights the importance of close clinical suspicion in this patient population. We utilize the case to delve into intricacies of the known pathophysiology and encourage ongoing investigation. Keywords: Noonan syndrome; Chiari I malformation; RASopathy.

This CASE report presents a 16-year-old female volleyball, basketball and track & field athlete who was diagnosed with a Chiari I Malformation following a concussion. Surgical decompression was recommended and performed 3 months following her initial diagnosis. This patient presented unique challenges due to her age, desire to return-to-sport, and the lack of access to medical care due to living in a rural area. There are few evidence-based best-practice recommendations for the management and return-to-sport of Chiari I Malformation patients, particularly for post-surgical Chiari I Malformation cases. This case study discusses the treatment and return-to-sport process for the patient, and also provides a comprehensive review of the published literature on patients attempting to return-to-sport following Chiari I Malformation diagnosis. Additionally, this case report suggests and explores the utilization of an athletic trainer to reconcile various barriers in management and return-to-sport evident in this case and the reviewed literature.
