Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a clinical-neurological condition caused by an abnormally low conus medullaris, frequently defined as a mal- formative sequence of a dysraphic pathology. Clinical onset generally occurs in early childhood; adult onset is rare, accounting for —6% of cases. In the adult form, a triggering factor plays a determining role in the onset of symptoms. The clinical and neuroradiological features of this syndrome are discussed together with surgical outcome, pointing out the differences between the two age groups. © 1995 Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia.

Abstract
Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a clinical-neurological condition caused by an abnormally low conus medullaris, frequently defined as a mal- formative sequence of a dysraphic pathology. Clinical onset generally occurs in early childhood; adult onset is rare, accounting for —6% of cases. In the adult form, a triggering factor plays a determining role in the onset of symptoms. The clinical and neuroradiological features of this syndrome are discussed together with surgical outcome, pointing out the differences between the two age groups. © 1995 Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
