Will spine surgery help this child to walk again?

A brave 7-year-oldโ€™s world turned upside down when she couldnโ€™t walk after a fall. She had complete weakness in the lower limbs. Her devoted father, her superhero, carried her everywhereโ€”a sight that tugged at our hearts.

The cause of her condition was unravelled with an MRI, leading to a diagnosis of Lipomeningocele with Tethered Cordโ€”a condition in which the spinal cord is abnormally attached to the tailbone, stretching painfully as she grew.

Determined to give her the childhood she deserved, we performed a life-changing surgery known as Detethering. This delicate procedure involved separating the spinal cord from its painful bind, allowing it to relax and gradually heal.

The transformation was nothing short of miraculous. Within a month, she showed remarkable improvement, and by the end of two months, she was walking, running, and playing like any other child her ageโ€”completely normal, completely free.

We at Synapse Spine Clinic routinely manage complex and challenging surgeries with an experienced team of surgeons renowned for their skills and exceptional surgical prowess. Trust us to deliver care that transforms lives and shapes futures.
