Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hello Nathalie, Are you able to get second opinions in Malta or is there just one group of neurosurgeons? Did they explain why they are reluctant? Fill us in and welcome. Randee In a message dated 1/28/2009 1:50:29 A.M.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 We have to be to Germany and she has been seen by a visiting consultant from the UK. They are all saying that since she already has the problems associated with tethered cord since she has CRS they see no benefit of untethering. Only if she experiences any pain or her feet are spastic should we untether.
