متن کاملRedundant Nerve Root Syndrome of Cauda Equina
Objective: Recognizing cauda equina redundant nerve root syndrome is crucial before surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of this condition are demonstrated. The aim of this study is to identify patients with redundant nerve root syndrome (RNS), well demonstrate (MRI) findings, notify the surgeon before the surgery and therefore to prevent a potential catastrophe. Methods: Ten pati...

متن کاملCauda equina syndrome.
Cauda equina syndrome is a relatively uncommon condition typically associated with a large, space-occupying lesion within the canal of the lumbosacral spine. The syndrome is characterized by varying patterns of low back pain, sciatica, lower extremity sensorimotor loss, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. The pathophysiology remains unclear but may be related to damage to the nerve roots composi...
متن کاملThe redundant nerve root syndrome of the Cauda equina.
The redundant nerve root syndrome is defined as the association of high-grade extradural lumbar spinal stenosis with large, elongated and tortuous nerve roots. Acquired elongation of nerve roots due to the mechanical trapping at the level of lumbar spinal stenosis is assumed to be the possible mechanism. It is believed that the cause is a squeezing force due to the chronic compression. The most...
