ABSTRACT

The tethered cord syndrome is characterized by sensory and motor disturbances of the lower extremities and incontinence. We report a 12-year-old boy with sacral lipoma and a tethered cord syndrome, whose chief complaint is enuresis. This complication of tethered cord syndrome was most likely due to a renal failure and hydronephrosis secondary to a neurogenic bladder. Thus, the spinal lesions have to be considered in patients with enuresis.

Key words: Enuresis | Tethered cord syndrome | Neurogenic bladder
