Summaries for Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome

About this section
NINDS : 54 Tethered spinal cord syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by tissue attachments that limit the movement of the spinal cord within the spinal column.  Attachments may occur congenitally at the base of the spinal cord (conus medullaris) or they may develop near the site of an injury to the spinal cord.  These attachments cause an abnormal stretching of the spinal cord.  The course of the disorder is progressive.  In children, symptoms may include lesions, hairy patches, dimples, or fatty tumors on the lower back; foot and spinal deformities; weakness in the legs; low back pain; scoliosis; and incontinence.  This type of tethered spinal cord syndrome appears to be the result of improper growth of the neural tube during fetal development, and is closely linked to spina bifida.  Tethered spinal cord syndrome may go undiagnosed until adulthood, when pain, sensory and motor problems, and loss of bowel and bladder control emerge.  This delayed presentation of symptoms is related to the degree of strain placed on the spinal cord over time and may be exacerbated during sports or pregnancy, or may be due to narrowing of the spinal column (stenosis) with age. Tethering may also develop after spinal cord injury and scar tissue can block the flow of fluids around the spinal cord.  Fluid pressure may cause cysts to form in the spinal cord, a condition called syringomyelia.  This can lead to additional loss of movement, feeling or the onset of pain or autonomic symptoms.

MalaCards based summary : Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome, also known as spinal dysraphism, is related to anus, imperforate and neural tube defects. An important gene associated with Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome is KMT2D (Lysine Methyltransferase 2D). The drugs Acetazolamide and diuretics have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include spinal cord, skin and kidney, and related phenotypes are Decreased BBC3 mRNA expression and Decreased CDKN1A mRNA expression
