? 2023 The Royal College of RadiologistsThere are many causes of cauda equina (CE) thickening on neuroimaging of the lumbar spine. The imaging features of CE thickening for the various conditions often overlap
Because treatment is urgent surgical decompression of the spinal canal, imaging is a cornerstone in the workup of these patients. Frequent causes of cauda equina syndrome include disc herniation, trauma, and/or vertebral metastasis with secondary spinal stenosis and compression of the cauda equina. ...

We present multitechnique imaging findings of congenital, infectious, inflammatory, vascular, and neoplastic involvement of the conus medullaris and cauda equina. This should be a succinct and central reference for the radiologist in evaluating the conus medullaris and cauda equina. Learning Ob...
imaging(MRI)findings have been defined more frequently in recent years,this condition has been relatively under-recognized in radiological practice.In this study,lumbar MRI findings of RNRs of the cauda equina were evaluated in spinal stenosis patients.AIM To evaluate RNRs of the cauda equina in ...
Imaging studies typically demonstrate a well-delineated mass lesion. In the cauda equina, the preoperative differential diagnosis includes ependymoma, meningioma, nerve-sheath tumors, and metastatic lesions. The pathology of cauda equina paragangliomas differs from those occurring in other locations in 2 ...
