A @entity1494 was the presenting syndrome in three cases of spinal cord traction. Of the typical symptomatic triad: neuro-orthopedic, cutaneous and urologic, the latter was of primary importance. Symptoms in the first case were @entity1494 with distention of upper urinary tract, right-sided vesicorenal reflux and @entity177 . Six months after excision of a @entity362 and freeing of the filum terminale, micturition had become normal without residue, and renal function normalized. Right-sided reflux was corrected by submucosal advancement surgery with good results. The clinical history was more suggestive in the second case. Although inaugural symptoms were mictional, there was foot @entity912 and a @entity362 above an abnormal hairy tuft in the upper part of the gluteal cleft. Operation revealed the presence of a @entity48 and a @entity362 . Their excision combined with section of the filum terminale allowing ascension of the medullary cone. Marked clinical and urodynamic improvement was obtained with normal micturition and disappearance of @entity322 . An anti-reflux operation suppressed residual reflux with good urographic results. Marked improvement in mictional disorders was obtained also in the 3rd case after excision of a sacral extradural @entity362 and section of the filum terminale, allowing objective ascension of the medullary cone by 4 cm. A very detailed analysis was conducted of similar cases reported in the literature, about 2% of neurogenic bladders in @entity1 being affected. The importance of early diagnosis is emphasized as well as the essential need to establish a precise diagnosis of the @entity362 of cauda equina and of medullary fixation. Early neurosurgery is justified by the high frequency of improvement in cases treated in this way.
