Spine Lecture cauda equina syndrome 2019 sept
Cauda Equina Syndrome is a medical emergency caused by compression of the cauda equina nerve roots in the lumbar spine. Symptoms include low back pain, sciatica, saddle anesthesia, and bowel/bladder dysfunction. Delays in surgery of greater than 48 hours are associated with worse functional outcomes. Physical exam alone is a poor predictor, but pre- and post-void bladder scans and perianal sensation testing provide better sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing Cauda Equina Syndrome. Early identification and emergency MRI are critical to prevent permanent nerve damage from prolonged compression.
