In LSL of the conus, visualisation of the conus on MRI is associated with good urological and motor outcomes. The integrity of the conus appears to be a more important prognostic factor than anatomical level. An observational approach to this group of LSL patients does not appear to compromise outcomes. These findings support a selective approach to untethering surgery.
