Hello,
"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." as cited on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke website.
I appreciate the time you took to provide the findings reported on MRI scan results. But, the relevance of these findings must be explained to you by the your physician, who ordered the scan. I have had more MRIs and PET scans than I have fingers, and for the life of me have never been able to comprehend what the findings mean. I look at the section marked impression to get an idea of what is going on.
