RE: MRI 11 months after detethering

[Guest guest]

Dee,

According to my neurosurg, sometimes they move up, sometimes they don't.

Afterall, it has been stretched that long for how many years? But, by

untethering, at least is it free moving and there is no longer the stress

placed on the cord.

Subject: MRI 11 months after detethering

Hi all,

I just got my first MRI since my surgery 11 months ago (detethering

the filum terminale). I have not seen my neurosurgeon but looking at

the MRI image I was given on disk my spinal cord does not look like it

has moved at all, still very low lying. Is this normal? I thought it

would look different?

Thanks

Dee
