Written by renowned specialists, this second edition is a comprehensive text on the essentials of the clinical management of TCS and is the only reference dedicated to optimizing the management of this complex disorder.
Reviewer:Celso Agner, MD, MSc(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description:Since the first edition of this book in 1996, many diagnostic, technological, and neurosurgical technical advances in the treatment of tethered cord syndrome in children and adults have occurred. This new edition accurately addresses those changes.
Purpose:The purpose is to explain the recent developments in the clinical, radiological, and neurosurgical areas involved in the management of tethered cord syndrome.
Audience:Neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and radiologists are the targeted audience. Dr Yamada has studied the topic extensively throughout the years and is one of the leading experts in the field.
Features:The first few chapters are similar to the previous edition since they cover the definition, diagnosis, and clinical presentation of tethered cord syndrome, including the initial controversies surrounding its naming. This edition updates the field with current studies related to imaging and diagnostic tools such as newer MRI sequences and 3D reconstruction of the spine. The book spends a good deal of time on the urological aspects of tethered cord, medical management, and indications for neurosurgical management. It adds new information on image-guided and minimally invasive surgeries, and intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring in patients.
Assessment:Over 40 authors contribute to the 21 chapters in this excellent revision, which is suitable for neurology, neurosurgery, and radiology libraries.

Tethered Cord Syndrome in Children and Adults
I read this book in college back in the mid-90s as part of my medical anthropology course list and was entranced by its implications immediately. It is one of my favorite nonfiction books to this day. My eager mind soaked up the ideas and theories Ewald was espousing and I became a devoted believer in the power of vectors, genetics, and bio-organisms to deliver sickness, death, and even disease immunity to humanity. This was powerful stuff at the time...and still is in many circles. But it is no longer as theoretical in the strictest sense. The medical and scientific communities seem to be catching on, (but this is more a general sense that a conclusion drawn from exhaustive research). Ewald's a genius in my mind for basically starting the field of evolutionary medicine. A Google Scholar search reveals over 15,000 results ("paul ewald infectious disease").
Highly recommended for those interested in epidemiology, disease and illness, clinical implications, genetics, and evolutionary pressures to survive and reproduce. Some have said it was overly technical, but other reviewers have said it was written in plain language. Nonetheless, it contains tons of research and is not a light summer read. I found it to be well-written, easy-to-follow and wholly awe-inspiring.
