Cauda equina syndrome can result in long-term physical, psychological and financial injuries if treatment is not provided in time.
The cauda equina nerves serve the pelvic organs, lower limbs and peri-anal region, enabling function and sensation.
When the cauda equina nerves are compressed (as is the case with cauda equina syndrome) function and sensation in the pelvic organs, lower limbs and peri-anal region will be lost. This will be evident by the onset of symptoms such as back pain, difficulty urinating and reduced perineal sensation.
These symptoms will improve, and possibly resolve, if surgical decompression is carried out in the early stages. However, if the nerves become irreparably injured, treatment will prove ineffective and a patient will be left with permanent complications.
A patient who is left with permanent cauda equina complication may suffer some or all of the following:-
These complications will be devastating and will turn a person’s life upside down. If this is something to have affected you, you need to consider whether medical professionals caused your problems by failing to provide an acceptable standard of care.
For example, if medical practitioners failed to diagnose the condition, despite the fact you presented with the clinical features of spinal nerve compression, your treatment will have been wrongfully delayed. If you would have enjoyed a considerably better outcome in neurological function with earlier treatment, there will be a case of medical negligence.
