Tethered cervical cord syndrome: A rare entity – a case report and literature review

Cervical tethered cord with a dermal sinus tract is an exceedingly rare condition, particularly in adults. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can lead to significant improvement, even in the absence of motor deficits. This case highlights the importance of timely management, even in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic presentations, to prevent long-term neurological damage. Given the prevalence of spinal dysraphisms in South Asia, including Pakistan, raising awareness about congenital spinal anomalies is essential for early detection and intervention.
