Abstract
The filum terminale has often been overlooked in the literature due to its historical lack of research on its true morphology. It is only recently that the true anatomy and pathological involvement of the filum terminale in the tethered cord syndrome have been elucidated.
Herein, we present a comprehensive review of the filum terminale, including its embryology, anatomy, and associated syndromes and disorders.
