Tethered cord syndrome is a progressive condition usually diagnosed early in life, and leads to a diversity of manifestations including neurologic, urologic, and orthopedic dysfunction. We report two cases of tethered cord syndrome associated with a unilaterally absent sural sensory response on nerve conduction studies while other causes of this finding being excluded. We believe that this finding is caused by a selective injury of sensory fibers at the level or distal to the dorsal root ganglia.
脊髓栓系综合征是一种进行性疾病,通常在生命早期诊断,并导致多种表现,包括神经、泌尿和骨科功能障碍。我们报告了两例脊髓栓系综合征病例,神经传导研究显示单侧腓肠感觉反应缺失,排除了其他导致这种结果的原因。我们认为这种发现是由于脊神经根节水平或其远端的感觉纤维选择性损伤所致。
