Abnormally Elongated Spinal Cord
摘要
A neurological spinal cord syndrome occurs when spinal cord tissue attachments limit the movement of the spinal cord within the spinal canal, causing abnormal elongation of the cord. This is associated with spina bifida, which is a congenital defect of the spinal cord. About 20–50% of spina bifida children require surgical treatment to untether the spinal cord.
