Medical Claims Online - Cauda Equina Syndrome Compensation Claims

Cauda Equina Sydrome (CES) is a rare but devastating illness. It is very commonly missed given that lower back pain is one of the commonest medical complaints.

Cauda Equina Syndrome is caused by the compression of the nerves located at the end of the spinal canal known as the 'Cauda Equina' ('Horses Tail'). These nerves control bowel and bladder function amongst other things.

Cauda Equina Syndrome is often caused by a prolapsed disc. It can also be caused by an injury or damage during surgery.

There are certain 'red flag' symptoms in cases of CES which if missed and not acted on can lead to bladder and / or bowel dysfunction, numbness or a burning sensation and sexual dysfunction. The 'red flags' include:

 

Bladder and / or bowel dysfunction;

 

Numbness in the 'saddle region';

 

Pain which radiates (spreads from a central point) usually down the legs.
