Abstract
Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) encompasses a spectrum of congenital conditions that result in progressive neurological
deterioration due to tension on the spinal cord and nerve root[1]. Patients with TCS present with a wide spectrum of
symptoms hence detailed physical examination is vital in patients presenting with TCS. Although TCS is a well-known entity, it continues to pose
challenges regarding diagnosis and management. Surgical untethering may either ameliorate these issues or halt their worsening if they have been
long-standing for many years.
