Guest guest Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hi group,Our GI now wants our eight-year-old daughter to be tested (MRI) for a possible tethered cord. I don't think she has this condition and can't help but wonder how it could have been missed earlier, but it's something to look at if you haven't ruled it out, when encopresis is a problem (apparently it can also cause urinary incontinence). Apparently tethered cord can manifest as a spectrum, with some cases being severe and others being so mild that they aren't diagnosed until years after birth.
