This abnormal attachment is associated with progressive stretching and increased tension of the spinal cord as a child ages, potentially resulting in a variety of neurological and other symptoms. Due to the variation of the growth rate of the spinal cord and the spinal column, the progression of neurological signs and symptoms is highly variable. We report a very rare case of young patient of tethered cord syndrome presented with incontinence of urine and stool since birth and progressive weakness of both lower limbs. Other associated features and radiological findings are also discussed.&#13;
