Abstract
The insidious onset of back and/or leg pain, weakness and spasticity of the lower limb, sensory deficits and neurogenic bladder and bowel in a child with spina bifida might represent a tethered cord syndrome. A case report of a child with sudden neurologic deterioration describes this condition. The successful management in children and adults with tethered cord syndrome is improved with early recognition and careful monitoring.
