Association 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 ...
متن کاملChiari type I malformation with occult tethered cord syndrome in a child
RATIONALE Chiari type I malformation (CM1) and occult tethered cord syndrome (OTCS) are considered to be malformations associated with subtle structural abnormalities of the terminal filum. Few studies have reported patients with CM1 and OTCS. Treatment strategy for patients of CM1 associated with OTCS is controversial. PATIENT CONCERNS A 14-year-old child was admitted with intermittent pain ...
متن کاملTethered Cord Syndrome Associated with a Thickened Filum Terminale in a Dog

Medical management with meloxicam did not result in clinical improvem...
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 کاملOsteopetrosis and Chiari type I malformation: a rare association
Osteopetrosis (OP) is hereditary X-linked, autosomal recessive (ARO), or autosomal dominant (ADO) skeletal disease. ARO has two subtypes, which are infantile malignant and intermediate type. ARO and X-linked OP have poor clinical outcome. ADO is called adult benign type because of the normal life expectancy, which has type I and type II. Here, the authors present an ADO patient with Chiari type...
