Abstract

Spina bifida occulta at the lumbosacral area of a growing child is often associated with a low lying spinal cord that is tethered by one or more forms of intradural abnormalities without producing overt clinical manifestation for a long time. The diagnosis therefore requires a strong clinical suspicision and aggressive investigarion. We reported one case of tethered core syndrome in spina bifida occulta woth brief review of literature.
