“What is the relationship between hidden spinal dysraphism, spinal cord tethering, and pediatric enuresis?”
Answer
“A small number of patients may experience urinary obstruction during the degenerative process, manifested as mild limb weakness and sensory abnormalities. Fibrosis, fatty tissue, or fibrous tissue at the site of the spinal dysraphism may interfere with the spinal nerves, leading to symptoms such as limb weakness, deformity, and coldness below the level of inflammation. There are often functional disorders of urination and defecation, as well as common back pain. Currently, there is no treatment method that has shown significant efficacy for this condition. The common manifestations of spinal cord tethering syndrome include urinary retention, difficulty urinating, incontinence, frequent urination with less volume per time than normal.”
