Cauda equina syndrome with neurogenic bladder
Definition
A rare neurologic disorder caused by impingement of the nerve roots of the cauda equina secondary to disk herniation, spinal stenosis, vertebral fracture, neoplasm or infection. Clinical signs may include bladder or bowel dysfunction, paresthesia and weakness of the lower extremities. The development of neurogenic bladder implies that surgical decompression was either ineffective, delayed or not attempted.
