Summary
This case report highlights a rare association between Russell-Silver syndrome and tethered cord syndrome in a young child. Early consideration of tethered cord syndrome is crucial for managing potential complications like scoliosis.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Endocrinology
- Neurology
- Genetics
Background:
- Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) is a rare genetic disorder causing growth retardation and distinct physical features.
- Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a neurological condition where the spinal cord is abnormally attached.
- The co-occurrence of RSS and TCS is exceptionally rare.

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...

01:16Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy
5.8K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.
