To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to report the simultaneous occurrence of congenital kyphosis and double spinal cord tethering due to MM and tethering of the filum terminale. Our case report shows that surgical correction of the deformity and spinal cord detethering can be safely and effectively achieved during the same surgical procedure.
