The authors report a case of tethered cord syndrome preceding the development of a syrinx, which subsequently resolved with detethering. This was shown conclusively with serial radiological imaging, although the patient did not improve clinically. The lack of clinical improvement is likely to be due to the delay in surgery caused by infections in this patient, and early detethering should therefore be the aim in patients with tethered cord syndrome.
作者报告了一例在空洞形成之前出现的脊髓栓系综合征病例，该病例随后通过解除栓系得以缓解。尽管患者临床症状未改善，但连续的影像学检查确凿地证实了这一点。该患者临床症状未改善可能是由于感染导致手术延迟，因此对于脊髓栓系综合征患者，早期解除栓系应作为治疗目标。
