A Study of Outcome of Detethering in Delayed Presentation of Tethered Cord Syndrome

Abstract

Introduction Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a stretch-induced functional disorder associated with tethering of caudal spinal cord to dura mater with inelastic tissue, limiting its movement. It not only manifests in childhood but also noted in adults. Here, we studied the role of detethering on delayed presentation of TCS.
