DOI: 10.1007/s00381-018-3984-6
Abstract: PurposeThe literature on histopathological and molecular changes that might underlie secondary tethered cord syndrome (TCS) after myelomeningocele (MMC) repair surgeries remains sparse. To address this problem, we analyzed specimens, which were obtained during untethering surgeries… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2021.1995589
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Despite the evident clinical, neurological, orthopedic, and urodynamic dysfunctions, neuroanatomic imaging is normal in patients with occult tethered cord syndrome (OTCS). Therefore, the diagnosis of OTCS can be very complex. In this… read more here.
