متن کاملA comparative study of histopathological analysis of filum terminale in patients with tethered cord syndrome and in normal human fetuses.
BACKGROUND The structural changes in filum terminale (FT) may be responsible for tethered cord syndrome (TCS) in children. Although the histological changes in FT related to TCS are well-known, there is no comparative study of the changes which occur in TCS and normal fetal FT samples. The aims of this study are to compare the histological changes which occurred in FT samples of TCS and in fetu...
متن کاملAssociation of Chiari malformation type I and tethered cord syndrome: preliminary results of sectioning filum terminale.
OBJECTIVE The pathogenesis of CM-I is incompletely understood. We describe an association of CM-I and TCS that occurs in a subset of patients with normal size of the PCF. METHODS The prevalence of TCS was determined in a consecutively accrued cohort of 2987 patients with CM-I and 289 patients with low-lying cerebellar tonsils (LLCT). Findings in 74 children and 244 adults undergoing SFT were ...
