Cauda equina syndrome has a high medico-legal profile. This may seem strange as it is often described as a rare neurological condition. Nevertheless, it is one that is commonly mismanaged by the medical profession. Ordinarily this is due to a failure to diagnose and/or a failure to provide timely surgical decompression.

If cauda equina syndrome is not managed properly, the consequences for the patient will be extremely problematic. Cauda equina syndrome must be treated quickly if long-term neurological damage is to be avoided. If there is a delay, the nerves will sustain irreversible injuries and treatment will not be successful.

If a patient is left with permanent neurological damage, the standard of care must be considered. A patient who is promptly tested for cauda equina syndrome, diagnosed and given immediate surgical treatment will have received an acceptable standard of care. On the other hand, a patient who seeks medical attention but is subject to delays in diagnosis and treatment will have been the victim of substandard medical care.

Anyone who is harmed by substandard medical care will be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation. It is very likely that a substandard level of cauda equina care will indeed cause the patient harm, as there is only a small window of opportunity to treat the condition. If this is missed, the patient will be left with a lifetime of complications, something which could have been avoided with better medical care.
