What are the causes and symptoms of cauda equina syndrome?
Cauda equina syndrome, CES, is caused from compromise of lumbar and sacral nerve roots in the spine. It often is due to a herniated disc. The most common symptoms of CES include sensory loss in the saddle region and sometimes legs, and compromise of bladder, bowel, or sexual function. Other symptoms include weakness of the legs, and pain in the low back or legs.
