Abstract
Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) is a rare emergency condition where the ends of the spinal cord, specically, the lumbar and sacral spinal nerves get
congested mostly due to disc herniation or trauma. The marked complication of CES includes bowel incontinence, bladder incontinence leading to
UTI, high grade sores in the gluteal region and saddle anesthesia. This is one among the rarest neurosurgical emergencies. The only treatment for
Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical procedure, that is, decongestion of the lumbar spinal nerves called Lumbar laminectomy. In this case report,
we shall discuss and evaluate on the long-term complications of cauda equina syndrome which includes various sectors of life. This study is done to
report on the long-term complication of cauda equina syndrome in relation to the relative Quality of Life (QoL) of patients
