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.(J Korean Soc Pediatr Nephrol 2002 ;6 : 109-13)

저자들은 야뇨증을 주소로 내원한 12살 남아에서 천추 부위의 피부 보조개를 발견하여 정밀 검사를 통한 계류 척수 증후군을 확인하였고 이에 따른 신경원성 방광과 만성 신부전을 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰을 통한 증례 보고를 하는 바이다.
