Abstract
Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a rare but potentially debilitating condition that occurs when the spinal cord is abnormally attached to the surrounding tissue. TCS can be associated with Chiari type II malformation (CM-II), a condition where the cerebellar tonsils protrude into the spinal canal. Here we present the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of spinal lipoma and neurogenic bladder who was found to have TCS and CM-II on MRI. The patient underwent surgical untethering with good postoperative outcome.
