Abstract:
Objective: We examined the cause、level of pathology、onset of symptoms、time taken to treatment and outcome of 14 patients with cauda equina syndrome(CES) to determine how these factors influenced the eventual outcome.Methods:14 patients with CES treated at our hospital between 1991 and 1997 underwent laminectomy followed by bilateral decompression.The mean time of followup was 35 months(range 22～48months).Logistical regression analysis was used to manage the data.Results:Out of 14 patients,11 had satisfactory recovery at 2 years postdecompression;3 patients were left with some residual dysfunction.Conclusion:There was a clear correlation between delayed decompression and the poor overall outcome,as well as the presence of perineal anaesthesia and significant sphicter dysfuncation.
