Abstract
A 3-day-old presents for surgery to deal with a tethered cord. This congenital disorder is characterized by a membrane (the filum terminale) abnormally anchored to the spinal cord at the L2 level or lower. If untreated, there may be progressive lower extremity weakness and incontinence, due to stretching on the spinal cord from the child’s movements. Early surgery yields better outcomes.
