Sudden onset stridor due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis in an adult patient with undiagnosed syringomyelia as a sole presenting symptom is rare. Here we are presenting a case of a 40-year-old female with undiagnosed syringomyelia due to Chiari type I malformation presenting with sudden onset stridor. Even 1 year after decompression surgery, her vocal cord functions did not improve. How to cite this article Varma A, Agrahari AK. An Unusual Presentation of Syringomyelia.
