The approximate incidence in patients presenting with low back pain is 0.27% but delays in investigation and treatment can result in life-changing permanent disability. The best practice for patients presenting with potential cauda equina syndrome is urgent MRI imaging at the presenting hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis. Patients with a positive finding of cauda equina compression should proceed to decompressive surgery to restore the diameter of the spinal canal urgently to reduce the risk of developing a permanent deficit.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eBackground\u003cbr\u003e Clinical presentation\u003cbr\u003e Investigation and Guidelines\u003cbr\u003e Management.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Accident \u0026amp; emergency medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Accident \u0026amp; emergency medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Accident%20\u0026amp;%20emergency%20medicine%20%5BMMK%5D%22\"\u003eMMK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52174412185880,"sku":"9781009388702","price":16.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009388702i.jpg?v=1781174065","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/patient-with-suspected-cauda-equina-syndrome-paperback-softback-9781009388702","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
