Cauda Equina Syndrome Claims
Medical Negligence Claims: Cauda Equina Syndrome Claims
Back pain is one of the most common medical complaints seen by GPs and A+E doctors. Whilst the majority of complaints are not serious on occasions a person may develop Cauda Equina Syndrome.
Cauda Equina Syndrome is the result of compression of the nerves extending from the base of the spinal column known as the Cauda Equina or ‘Horse's Tail’. Cauda Equina is a medical emergency and requires urgent treatment.
Whilst Cauda Equina Syndrome is rare, there are various ‘red flags’ that should alert a doctor to the possibility of Cauda Equina Syndrome. These red flags include:
Bladder / Bowel dysfunction; Sexual dysfunction; Numbness in the saddle area.Because Cauda Equina Syndrome is a rare condition it is very commonly missed and usually results in a claim. A high standard of suspicion should be employed by doctors treating a patient displaying signs of neurological deficit.
The effects of Cauda Equina Syndrome are devastating for the patient, so early diagnosis and surgery is imperative.
