N2 - We report a patient with bulbar-onset, clinically defined, sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosisbearing an isolated syringomyelia of the lower thoracic portion of the spinal cord. This is a veryunusual association between two rare and progressive disorders, both affecting the spinalmotoneurons. Syringomyelia might have acted as a phenotypic modifier in this ALS patient.
