A BSTRACT Tethered cord syndrome is a neurological disorder closely associated with congenital spinal dysraphism. Aberrant dorsal nerve roots may be one of the possible and relatively rare tethering pathologies, especially in complex form occult dysraphism such as caudal regression or split malformation. We report an illustrative case due to combination contiguous bundle aberrant root, dorsal-type lipomyelomeningocele, thickened filum terminale treated microneurosurgical untethering.
