Primary tethered cord syndrome is a genetic, non-syndromic congenital malformation of the neurenteric canal, spinal cord and column characterized by progressive neurologic deterioration (pain, sensorimotor deficits, abnormal gait, decreased tone or abnormal reflexes), musculoskeletal changes (foot deformities and asymmetry, muscle atrophy, limb weakness and numbness, gait disturbances, scoliosis) and/or genitourinary manifestations (bladder and bowel dysfunction). Midline cutaneous stigmata in the lumbosacral region, such as tufts of hair, skin appendages, dimples, subcutaneous lipomas, skin discoloration or hemangiomas, are frequently associated. |

A rare dysraphic abnormality characterised by the infiltration of fatty tissue localised in the filum terminale, which thickens and loses its flexibility, with normal conus shape, regardless of conus level. There is no other spinal cord malformation associated, but it can be associated with extraspinal malformation (anorectal malformation) or syndrome. |

A rare dysraphic abnormality characterised by the infiltration of fatty tissue localised in the filum terminale, with abnormal conus shape. The spinal cord is typically attenuated and the limit between its end and the fatty filum is hard to distinguish. There is no additional spinal cord malformation, but it can be associated with vertebral abnormalities, anorectal malformation or other syndromic condition. It is named transitional for its intermediate image between an isolated filum lipoma and a terminal conus region lipoma. |

A rare intermediate form of open dysraphism between myelomeningocele and saccular limited dorsal myeloschisis without fulfilling the characteristics of one of these two diagnosis, characterized by stretched neurulation of spinal cord attached at the dome of a sac. Partial cerebral signs of open dysraphism can be observed and the meningocele is usually poorly epithelialized. |

A rare closed dysraphism with stalk characterised by a dorsal midline dermal sinus tract lined by keratinising stratified squamous epithelium extending to the intrathecal space. Other components such as hair follicles and shafts, mesenchymal derivatives (blood vessels and fibrous tissue) and occasionally nerve fibres can be observed. Inflamed granulation tissue containing mixed neutrophils, plasma cells, lymphocytes, and histiocytes is consistently found in the tract. It can also be associated with an intradural dermoid cyst. This malformation is at risk to cause intrathecal infections (meningitis, empyema) that justify prophylactic surgery. |

A rare closed dysraphism with terminal stalk with characteristics of persistant rudimentary spinal cord below conus. It contains non-functional neural tissue and is typically isolated. The diagnostic is suggested by attenuated conus without fat, further confirmed by pathological analysis (glioneuronal core with ependyma-lined lumen, nerve roots, and dorsal root ganglia). Differential diagnostic with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is mandatory as neuroimaging fails to distinguish it from functional conus. |
