Tethered Cord Syndrome
A neurological disorder where the lower end of the spinal cord is abnormally attached to the spine, restricting its movement and causing progressive damage as the animal grows.
Key Facts
- The spinal cord becomes fixed to the vertebral column instead of floating freely.
- Growth of the spine stretches the tethered cord, leading to worsening neurological deficits.
- It is a common secondary complication in animals with spina bifida manifesta.
