Neuroradiology. 1996 Aug;38(6):532-3. doi: 10.1007/BF00626090.

A case of radiographic type I benign osteopetrosis with syringohydromyelia is presented. MRI revealed diffuse sclerosis of the bone marrow in the thick cranial bones and narrowing of the foramen magnum and subarachnoid spaces, especially in the posterior cranial fossa, and syringohydromyelia.
