Abstract
- We experienced 2 cases of cauda equina syndrome with lumbar and lumbosacral disc herniations. They have symptoms of motor paralysis, decreased deep tendon reflex, sensory change on the corresponding dermatome or saddle area, and bladder dysfunction. We had performed neurologic examination, simple spine radiography, lumbosacral myelography, computed tomography, and cystometry for diagnosis. Patients were received operations of laminectomy and discectomy, and revealed significant degree of recovery on motor or sensory change but, not for the bladder dysfunction.
