Abstract
We present an unusual presentation of holocord syrinx. A 4-year-old boy presenting a 2-week history of right sided foot drop. An MRI revealed a holocord secondary to a chiari one malformation. He successfully underwent a craniocervical decompression. Post operatively the syrinx decreased in size and his foot drop completely resolved.
