2024年6月13日 · Cauda equina syndrome is a medical emergency that happens when an injury or herniated disk compresses nerve roots at the bottom of your spinal cord. The cauda equina nerves communicate with your legs and bladder. It causes back pain, weakness and incontinence. Quick surgical treatment may prevent permanent complications.

2024年2月22日 · Cauda Equina Syndrome is caused by severe compression of the nerve roots in the thecal sac of the lumbar spine, most commonly due to an acute lumbar disc herniation. Early diagnosis is critical and is made clinically by characteristic symptoms of saddle-like paresthesias combined with acute back and leg pain.

2024年8月27日 · Cauda equina syndrome refers to a collection of symptoms and signs that result from severe compression of the descending lumbar and sacral nerve roots. It is most commonly caused by an acutely extruded lumbar disc and is considered a diagnostic and …

The cauda equina (Latin for "horse's tail") begins at the 2nd Lumbar space extending down to the beginning of the sacral nerves. It is distal to the tapered end of the spinal cord, or conus medularis. [1] Sensory dermatome by spinal level. Approximate area of "saddle anesthesia" seen from posterior (yellow highlight).

2024年10月1日 · Cauda equina syndrome is a rare presentation of lumbar spine disease that can result in significant lower limb neurological deficits and permanent bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. Delays in diagnosis and treatment can result in …

2023年10月30日 · Cauda equina syndrome is an uncommon but serious cause of lower back pain resulting from compression of the cauda equina nerve roots, most commonly by lumbar disc herniation. Red flag symptoms, such as bladder dysfunction, saddle anaesthesia and sciatica, should lead to high clinical suspicion of cauda equina syndrome.

Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare but serious neurological condition affecting the bundle of nerve roots at the lower end of the spinal cord. The CE provides innervation to the lower limbs, and sphincter,controls the function of the bladder and distal bowel and sensation to the skin around the bottom and back passage [1] .

L5-S1: There is a large posterior central disc extrusion. This extrusion is indenting anteriorly the thecal sac and conditioning severe central canal stenosis and no CSF surrounding the cauda in the thecal sac. There is strong potential for irritation of the descending right or left S1 nerve roots or other nerve roots within the cauda equina.

What is cauda equina syndrome (CES)? It is a rare and serious condition (1 to 3 in 100,000 population), that affects a group of nerves called cauda equina. The cauda equina nerves are at the lowest part of your back (see figure 1). They perform the following functions: • allow control of the legs • control the bladder and bowel

2019年12月17日 · Cauda equina syndrome (CES): Compression of cauda equina nerve roots, surgical emergency to prevent permanent neurological deficits. Incidence: 1 per 33,000-100,000 annually. Spine anatomy: Five segments (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal), spinal cord ends at L2 vertebral level, cauda equina located below conus medullaris.
