Tethered cord does not always show on a MRI so there are other ways to indicate a possibility....
Chiari can cause upper body weakness so hands and arms can be affected like that.
With TC, it is more lower back, legs, bowel and bladder issues......
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
The reports that went with that MRI made no comment about the possibility of a thethered cord. In fact they were looking for something else that's why I thought maybe this was overlooked the weakness in my hands both of my hands is the issue that has led me to think maybe something was missed on the mri. This mri is a few years old . I went looking at these old mris when my hands started getting weak last year thinking maybe this was chiari and something might show on the old mri
Other then the MRI is there a reason or symptoms u r having that u feel u may have TCS?
I am not sure from this...do u have the report?
Two of the images have the questions posted on them so don't waste time looking at the duplicates.
