== Onset == Some researchers, noting that less severe spinal cord traction may remain asymptomatic in childhood<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal | last =Wilberger | first=James E. | last2 = Pang | first2 = Dachling | date = 1982-07-01 | title = Tethered cord syndrome in adults|url=https://thejns.org/view/journals/j-neurosurg/57/1/article-p32.xml|journal=Journal of Neurosurgery|language=en-US|volume=57|issue=1|pages=32β47|doi=10.3171/jns.1982.57.1.0032}}</ref>, hypothesize that the age of symptom onset is related to the amount of cord stretch. Factors in adult onset tethered cord syndrome include: transient stretching of the spine, mechanical constriction/narrowing of the spinal canal, and spinal trauma, all in the presence of an already tightly tethered conus medullaris, such as might occur during natural childbirth or in an automobile accident.<ref name=":3" />
