SHORTENING VERTEBROTOMY IN CHILDREN WITH TETHERED CORD SYNDROME
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2016.1.37-40
Abstract
Shortening vertebrotomy was proposed as an alternative method of surgical treatment for the recurrent tethered cord syndrome (TCS) in adults. Our clinical observation demonstrated regression of clinical manifestations of the disease after shortening vertebrotomy in a child with recurrent TCS. It is shown that shortening vertebrotomy may be the method of choice in the treatment of children with this disease when additional indications exist.
