A tethered cord, however, is held taut at the end or at some point in the spinal canal. In children, a tethered cord can force the spinal cord to stretch as they grow. In adults the spinal cord stretches in the course of normal activity, usually leading to progressive spinal cord damage if untreated. [1]

The most common causes of cord compression are tumors, but abscesses and granulomas (e.g. in tuberculosis) are equally capable of producing the syndrome. Tumors that commonly cause cord compression are lung cancer (non-small cell type), breast cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
In cases of short duration, there may be small blisters, while in long-term cases the skin may become thickened. [149] The area of skin involved can vary from small to the entire body. [149] [150] Diagnosis – Medical diagnosis (abbreviated Dx [151] or D S) is the process of determining which disease or condition explains a person's symptoms ...

Surfer's myelopathy is a rare, nontraumatic spinal cord injury caused by hyperextension of the back and resulting in paraplegia (paralysis below the waist). [1] During hyperextension, a blood vessel leading to the spine, such as the anterior spinal artery, [2] can become kinked, depriving the spinal cord of oxygen. [3]
If detected during delivery, management includes trying to unwrap the cord or if this is not possible clamping and cutting the cord. [2] Delivery can typically take place as normal and outcomes are generally good. [5] [1] Rarely long term brain damage or cerebral palsy may occur. [1] [6] Nuchal cords occur in about a quarter of deliveries. [2]
