A threadlike structure (as a chainlike series of cells)
1 Intraoperatively, we found and dissected two nerve roots from the filum terminale which extended into the mass.
2 Latin filum , French file = a row.
3 We excluded infants if they only had one US examination, or if they had lesions other than filum terminale lipoma.
4 A linear mixed model was used to assess differences in the growth pattern of filum terminale thickness by age and group.
5 Infants with filum terminale lipoma on magnetic resonance imaging were included in the lipoma group and the others in the control group.
6 Conclusion: Screening spinal cord US could effectively diagnose filum terminale lipoma in 4- to 6-month-old infants with a cutoff thickness of 1.1 mm.
