Abstract
The conus medullaris or “conus terminalis” is the terminal end of the spinal cord, which typically occurs at the L1 vertebral level in the adult that corresponds to the sacral cord segment between S1 and S5. The lower end of the conus medullaris is called “epiconus”. After the spinal cord ends caudally, the spinal nerves continue to branch out diagonally, creating the cauda equina nerve roots (Figs. 43.1, 43.2).
