Pains which seem predominantly to affect the muscles are extremely common and many hypotheses regarding their genesis have been developed, but most of them have lost support in time.

In one case where I attended, the wife of a Railway emp...

Disturbance of autonomic function is an unusual feature of compression of the cauda equina. A 61 year old man who had complete occlusion of the lumbar spinal canal with compression of the cauda equina from a large centrally prolapsed disc, had spontaneous priapism, precipitated by walking and relieved by resting. This symptom was comparable to claudication by compression of cauda equina. It sub...
