Congenital tethered cervical spinal cord in a young adult was diagnosed using metrizamide computerized tomography. Surgery led to clinical improvement, confirmed by intraoperative somatosensory evoked potentials.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Congenital tethered cervical spinal cord is a rare neurological condition.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing symptoms.

Observation:

  • A young adult presented with symptoms of a congenital tethered cervical spinal cord.
  • Metrizamide computerized tomography (CT) proved highly effective in visualizing the tethered spinal cord.

Findings:

  • The study highlights metrizamide CT as a key diagnostic tool for tethered cervical spinal cord.
  • Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) demonstrated a strong correlation with post-operative clinical recovery.

Implications:

  • Accurate imaging is vital for surgical planning in tethered cord cases.
