What is incidental fatty filum terminale?
Incidental fatty filum terminale refers to an incidental finding of excess fat in the filum terminale, a thin strand of connective tissue at the end of the spinal cord. It is often found during imaging studies like MRI and typically does not cause any symptoms or require treatment.
What anchors the spinal chord in place?
filum terminale
What is the strand of fibrous tissue that provides longitudinal support as a component of the coccygeal ligament?
Filum terminale or terminal thread is a fragile fibrous tissue strand which is the longitudinal support of the spinal cord. Its upper part is called filum terminale internum and the lower part called filum terminale externum.

What is the pia mater called when it reaches the end of the spinal cord?
filum terminale
What is the filum lipoma?
Filum lipoma is a rare condition characterized by the presence of a lipoma, which is a benign tumor made of adipose (fat) tissue, located at the filum terminale. The filum terminale is a fibrous extension of the spinal cord that anchors it to the coccyx. This condition can be associated with neurological symptoms if the lipoma exerts pressure on surrounding structures. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like MRI, and treatment may vary depending on the symptoms and extent of neurological involvement.
What gives the spinal cord longitudinal support?
the filum terminale which extends from the conus medullaris.
What is the strand of fiborus tissue that provides logitudnal support as a componetof the coccygeal ligament?
filum terminale
What is the difference between the filum terminale and cauda equina?
The filum terminale is a slender filament at the end of the spinal cord, while the cauda equina is a collection of spinal nerves that extend beyond the spinal cord. The filum terminale helps anchor the spinal cord within the spinal canal, while the cauda equina helps supply nerves to the lower extremities.
What is a fibrolipoma of the filum terminale?
A fibrolipoma of the filum terminale is a benign tumor composed of fibrous and fatty tissue that occurs at the end of the spinal cord, specifically within the filum terminale, which anchors the spinal cord to the coccyx. This condition can lead to various neurological symptoms if it causes tethering or compression of the spinal cord. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as MRI. Surgical intervention may be necessary if the fibrolipoma leads to significant symptoms.
What structure anchors the thecal sac and conus medullaris to the coccyx?
The filum terminale anchors the thecal sac and conus medullaris to the coccyx. It is a thin, thread-like extension of the pia mater that helps to stabilize and support the spinal cord within the spinal canal.
