Tethered Cord Syndrome Associated with a Thickened Filum Terminale in a Dog
A1-year-old female neutered English Cocker Spaniel was presented with a 9 months history of progressive right pelvic limb lameness. Survey radiographs, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and joint taps of the pelvis, stifles, hock joints and tarsi, performed before referral, were within normal limits. Medical management with meloxicam did not result in clinical improvem...
متن کاملAssociation 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 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 کاملDynamic Lumbosacral Magnetic Resonance Imaging in a Dog with Tethered Cord Syndrome with a Tight Filum Terminale
A 1-year and 11-month- old English Cocker Spaniel was evaluated for clinical signs of progressive right pelvic limb lameness and urinary incontinence. Neurological examination was suggestive of a lesion localized to the L4-S3 spinal cord segments. No abnormalities were seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed in the dog in dorsal recumbency and the hips in a neutral position and the c...

They have a diverse localizations, and are common in the head, neck, mediastinum or retroperitoneum. Their growth in the filum terminale region is very infrequent.
