[QUOTE=Sree;783911]Hi all!

My son who is 6 months old now has been diagnosed with tethered cord. Surprisingly, an MRI done when he was 20 days old mentioned just spina bifida occulta with a tethered cord, but an MRI done recently says "cord regression syndrome" also. He is a perfectly normal baby now. Does anyone have a similar experience? The neurosurgeon has advised surgery, though he feels it is not something that has to be done on an urgent basis. We are in two minds on whether to have surgery now since he is, as I said, perfectly normal, by God's grace. Has anyone faced a similar predicament?
