Abstract

Cauda equina syndrome is defined as the group of symptoms that includes low-back pain, sciatica, saddle anesthesia, decreased rectal tone, perianal areflexia or hiporeflexia, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and lower-extremity weakness. There are several causes of this syndrome including trauma, central disc protrusion, hemorrhage, and the neoplastic invasion was occurred rarely. In this case we report a cauda equina syndrome caused by intratumoral hemorrhage of spinal schwannoma at the level of L4. Surgical resection of the tumor significantly improved the neurological symptoms of the patients.

Özet

Kauda ekuina sendromu; bel ve bacak ağrısı, eyer tarzı hipoestezi, 38 anal hiporefleksi, bağırsak ve mesane fonksiyon bozuklukları ile birlikte alt ekstremitelerde kuvvetsizlik semptomlarından oluşan klinik bir tablodur. Bu sendrom sıklıkla travma, santral disk protrüzyonu ve kanamalara bağlı gelişirken daha nadir olarak da tümöral lezyonlar nedeniyle oluşabilmektedir. Bu vaka takdiminde L4 seviyesine yerleşmiş bir intradural schwannoma olgusunun, tümör içine kanaması ile oluşan kauda ekuina sendromu sunulmaktadır.
