Cauda Equina Syndrome:


Top tips to save your arse (and your patient’s!)


1. Suspect? Investigate. If CES (threatened, partial or complete) is a “possible diagnosis”, you must investigate urgently


2. Emergency MRI. .Even overnight. Don’t call spinal surgeons first,

unless MRI is contraindicated


3. MRI result: 4 possibilities.
