Diagnosis and Management of Tethered Cord Syndrome.
Tethered cord syndrome is a condition in which the spinal cord is tethered by pathological structures such as a tight filum terminale, intradural lipomas with or without a connecting extradural component, intradural fibrous adhesions, diastematomyelia, and neural placode adhesions following closure of a myelomeningocele.It usually occurs in childhood and adolescence as the spine grows in length, but it can also develop in adulthood. Symptoms of tethered cord syndrome are slowly progressive and varied. Incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate treatment may be provided if the physician lacks knowledge and understanding of this disease.This chapter aims to describe the pathophysiology, syndromes, diagnostic imaging, surgical treatment, and prognosis of tethered cord syndrome to enhance the understanding of this condition.
