Characteristics of repeated untethering pattern in patients with myelomeningocele from infancy to adolescence

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the untethering patterns in myelomeningocele from childhood to adolescence, focusing on intervention timing.
• Analyzed clinical outcomes of myelomeningocele patients from infancy to adolescence
• Implemented multidisciplinary management approaches
• Assessed the role of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in surgical scenarios
• Early recognition of tethered cord syndrome is crucial for timely intervention.
• Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring appears to minimize the need for repeated surgeries.
• Surgical experience significantly affects the management of secondary tethered cord syndrome.
