Abstract

This retrospective study was designed to determine the location of the conus medullaris in normal children by reviewing a series of MR images of the lumbar spine. The study group consisted of 184 children ranging in age from newborn to 20 years who had a normal conus level as reported by the radiologist of record. The range of conus levels for the entire group of normal children was T12 to L3. The range for the 0–2-year old group was T12 to L2–L3 with an average of L1–L2. The range of conus levels for the 19–20-year old group was LI to L2 with an average of L1–L2.
