This condition may be an isolated phenomenon or may be associated with other segmental anomalies of the vertebral bodies such as spina bifida, kyphoscoliosis, butterfly vertebra, hemivertebra and block vertebrae which are ...
If a deletion includes the TCF4 gene (located at 55,222,331-55,664,787), features of Pitt-Hopkins may be present, including abnormal corpus callosum, short neck, small penis, accessory and wide-spaced nipples, broad or clubbed fingers, and sacral dimple. Those with deletions inclusive of TCF4 have a significantly more severe cognitive phenotype.
MRI imaging appears to be the gold standard for diagnosing a tethered cord. [16] [17] A tethered cord is often diagnosed as a "low conus". The conus medullaris (or lower termination of the spinal cord) normally terminates at or above the L1-2 disk space (where L1 is the first, or topmost lumbar vertebra). After about 3 months of age, a conus ...

They are directly superficial to the two sacroiliac joints, the sites where the sacrum attaches to the ilium of the pelvis. An ...

Those with deletions inclusive of TCF4 have a significantly more severe cognitive phenotype.
