Abstract:
Eight cases of tethered conus medullaris with trophic ulcers in the foot in spina bifida patients are presented. The ulcers, which had remained unhealed for 1 to 8 years prior to surgery, healed in a few weeks after the tethered conus was released. The possibility of some neurotrophic factor in wound healing is suggested.
