Cauda equina syndrome

Cauda equina syndrome refers to a series of neurological dysfunctions caused by compression of the cauda equina due to absolute or relative narrowing of the lumbosacral spinal canal, resulting from various congenital or acquired factors (such as spinal fractures, lumbar degenerative diseases, and tumors in the cauda equina region). Lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis are the most common causes of cauda equina syndrome.
