- We describe the case of an 80-year-old man who presented with lower limb upper motor neurone weakness and spinothalamic tract sensory deficit secondary to previously undiagnosed syringomyelia. The case highlights the need for methodical history, examination and investigation in elderly patients to achieve diagnostic accuracy.
