Description
Summary:Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare and critical complication of lumbar disc herniation with a reported incidence between 0.08 and 0.5%. Whether CES occurs because of compression from disc herniation or as a complication of surgery, surgical decompression remains the mainstay of management of CES. In cases of partial CES, without motor symptoms, conservative management may also be considered.
