Popis: Shortening vertebrotomy was proposed as an alternative method of surgical treatment for the recurrent tethered cord syn- drome (TCS) in adults. Our clinical observation demonstrated regression of clinical manifestations of the disease after shortening vertebrotomy in a child with recurrent TCS. It is shown that shortening vertebrotomy may be the method of choice in the treatment of children with this disease when additional indications exist.
