Disorders of the Cauda Equina

Continuum, 2021
Cauda equina dysfunction (often referred to as cauda equina syndrome) is caused by a diverse group of disorders that affect the lumbosacral nerve roots. It is important to recognize dysfunction of the cauda equina quickly to minimize diagnostic delay and lasting neurologic symptoms. This article describes cauda equina anatomy and the clinical features,

Ependymoma of the Cauda Equina

Acta Neurochirurgica, 1999
Myxopapillary ependymomas are benign tumours which occasionally metastasize along cerebrospinal fluid pathways. Extraneural metastases of spinal ependymomas, however, are very rare, even more so when situated in the pleura. We report the case of a 67 year old woman presenting with shortness of breath after recurrent myxopapillary ependymomas of the ...

Cauda equina syndrome

Progress in Neurobiology, 2001
Single or double-level compression of the lumbosacral nerve roots located in the dural sac results in a polyradicular symptomatology clinically diagnosed as cauda equina syndrome. The cauda equina nerve roots provide the sensory and motor innervation of most of the lower extremities, the pelvic floor and the sphincters.

Hydrocephalus and cavernoma of the cauda equina

Neurosurgery, 1990
Abstract The association of a tumor of the cauda equina and hydrocephalus is unusual. We report a case of hydrocephalus with normal pressure associated with an equally rare affliction, a cavernous angioma of the cauda equina, which regressed after surgical ablation. The physiological mechanism involved is discussed.
