Tethered Cord Syndrome<\/h2>

The spinal cord normally ends below the L2 level in the spine because the growth rate of the spinal bones is faster than the growth rate of the spinal cord.<\/p>

Tethered cord syndrome (TWS) is a condition in which the spinal cord ends below the L2 level and causes various dermatological, neurological, urological, and orthopedic problems. TWS can occur alone or in association with conditions in which the spinal cord sac ruptures or becomes encased outside the skin (meningocele, meningomyelocele, lipomeningomyelocele, myeloschystocele, diastematomelia, syringomyelia, and dermal sinusitis).<\/p><\/div>

<\/i>Symptoms<\/h3>

<\/i>\u00a0Dermatology (SKIN) Findings:<\/h4>

Hair growth, dimples, pitted redness and holes on the skin of the waist may be signs of a tense spinal cord.<\/p><\/div>

<\/i>\u00a0Orthopedic findings:<\/h4>

There may be inward turning of the feet and curvature of the legs.<\/p><\/div>

<\/i>\u00a0Urological findings:<\/h4>

There may be a delay in urinary control or later urinary incontinence.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Diagnosis and Treatment<\/h3>

In children who are monitored for these conditions, an MRI should be performed and if a tethered spinal cord is detected, spinal cord release should be performed.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Tethered Cord Syndrome Home Page \/ Tethered Cord Syndrome This is the condition in which the spinal cord normally terminates below the L2 level of the spine due to the faster growth rate of the spinal bones than the spinal cord. Tethered cord syndrome (TSS) can occur in isolation or in association with conditions in which the spinal cord sac ruptures or becomes saccular (meningocele, meningomyelocele, lipomeningomyelocele, myeloschistocele, diastometomyelia, syringomyelia, and dermal sinusitis). Symptoms: Dermatological (SKIN) Findings: Hair growth, dimples, pitted redness, and holes on the skin of the waist may be signs of a tethered spinal cord. Orthopedic findings: Feet may turn inward, and legs may be bowed. Urological findings: Delayed urinary control or later-onset urinary incontinence may occur. Diagnosis and Treatment: Children with these conditions should definitely undergo an MRI, and if a tethered spinal cord is detected, spinal cord release should be performed.
