Abstract |
Tethered cord syndrome is one of the spinal dysraphism with low-lying conus medullaris
frequently associated with spinal lipoma, diastematomyelia and thick filum. The clinical
manifestation is variable from no overt symptoms for a long time to back pain, scoliosis,
progressive neurological deficit of legs and incontinence. Therefore the diagnosis requires a
strong clinical suspicion and aggressive investigation.
We experienced a case of 1 day-old male infant who was presented with small soft mass on
sacral area. Spinal ultrasonography and spine MRI revealed tethered cord associated with
intradural lipoma.
We reported a case of tethered cord syndrome with brief review of literatures.
