Abstract
- A case is reported of the so-called Tethered Cervical Spinal Cord Syndrome presenting as multiradicular pain on an upper limb in a 45-year old woman, in whom spina bifida occulta (C6) was associated with an intramedullary lipoma, intradural fibrous adhesions and the fusion of the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae. Surgical release of the tether was ineffective, and the patient underwent a posterior rhizotomy for pain relief. The clinical and maldevelopmental aspects of this most uncommon form of spinal cord tethering are discussed briefly.
