Won’t my spinal cord be moving around on the inside after cutting the filum?
The sectioning of the filum terminale
ligament involves the elimination of the anomalous traction that acts on
the patient’s spinal cord and nervous system. Once the surgery is
performed, the nervous system is liberated, but no tissue changes its
position.
Only in some cases we detect that the
conus medullaris and the descended cerebellar tonsils, over time and
very slowly (normally years after the surgery), may rise by some
millimetres.
