"Intermittent ischaemia" of the cauda equina due to stenosis of the lumbar canal.
'Intermittent claudication' of the spinal cord was first described by Dejerine in 1911. In 1961, Blau and Logue described an unsual syndrome resulting from central protrusion of a lumbar intervertebral disc which gave rise to symptoms suggesting 'intermittent claudication of the cauda equina'. Since this report, a further series of cases has been described by Evans (1964). We have recently obse...
متن کاملImaging of cauda equina edema in lumbar canal stenosis by using gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging: experimental constriction injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It has been reported that disturbance of blood flow arising from circumferential compression of the cauda equina by surrounding tissue plays a major role in the appearance of neurogenic intermittent claudication (NIC) associated with lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS). We created a model of LSCS to clarify the mechanism of enhancement within the cauda equina on gadoliniu...
متن کاملCauda equina syndrome following a lumbar puncture.
Lumbar puncture (LP), a common diagnostic procedure, is usually associated with low morbidity. We describe the case of a 29-year-old woman who underwent a non-traumatic LP in the setting of normal coagulation. Cauda equina syndrome subsequently developed secondary to an extradural spinal haematoma. Avoidance, identification and management of this uncommon complication are discussed. Iatrogenic ...
متن کاملCauda equina syndrome from lumbar disc herniation.
The syndrome can progress to paraplegia with rectal and urinary incontinence and represents a surgical emergency.1 Sixty percent of patients are male with a mean age of 42 years, and 82% have a history of chronic low-back pain. In two-thirds of patients, the syndrome is associated with trauma or injury.2 However, cauda equina syndrome should be considered in patients whose chronic back pain has...
متن کاملPrognosis of Cauda Equina Syndrome Caused by Herniated Disk After Lumbar Disk Operation
Background and Aim: Although operation is the most appropriate treatment for Cauda Equina Syndrome, the effectiveness of operation on clinical symptoms is still under discussion. This study aimed to determine the prognosis of Cauda Equina Syndrome in patients with lumbar disk surgery in Al-Zahra Hospital of Isfahan City, Iran, from 2013 to 2015. Methods and Materials/ Patients: In This prospec...
