What is the cauda equina of the spine?

What is the cauda equina? The lower end of the spinal cord is at the level of the first or second lumbar bone (vertebra). The nerves from the spinal cord then form a structure called the conus medullaris. The spinal nerves continue to branch out below the conus medullaris to form the cauda equina.

Is cauda equina syndrome a medical emergency?

Cauda Equina Syndrome. Cauda equina syndrome (CES) occurs when the nerve roots of the cauda equina are compressed and disrupt motor and sensory function to the lower extremities and bladder. Patients with this syndrome are often admitted to the hospital as a medical emergency. CES can lead to incontinence and even permanent paralysis.
What causes pain in the cauda equina and numbness in legs?
Compression of the cauda equina, such as by a herniated disc, may cause severe pain and numbness in both legs. Compression of the conus medullaris in the lumbar region at L1-L2 (typically between T12 to L2) causes conus medullaris syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by the following signs and symptoms 1:
There is pressure on the nerves at the very bottom of the spinal cord. The pressure on the nerves stops the nerves from working properly. If the pressure is not treated quickly then CES may cause permanent nerve damage. The most common cause of CES is a prolapsed disc (often called a 'slipped disc').
