Filum Sectioning

Filum Sectioning is a neurosurgical intervention within the domain of spinal cord disorder management that involves the selective transection of the filum terminale to relieve pathological tethering of the spinal cord, thereby distinguishing it from other decompressive or corrective spinal procedures by its specific anatomical target and indication for occult or symptomatic tethered cord syndrome.
