Cauda equina syndrome is a rare syndrome that occurs mainly in adults, but can happen to people of any age.
Most commonly, cauda equina syndrome is caused through herniated disc, tumours or trauma.
A cauda equina lesion causes an impact on the bottom of the spine, leading to cauda equina syndrome.
Cauda Equina Syndrome treatment claims
The cauda equina is a bundle of nerves at the bottom of the spine. They can be compressed during or after an accident which can cause cauda equina syndrome.
No matter what causes cauda equina syndrome, a quick diagnosis and treatment is necessary to deal with the syndrome. If there's a delay in diagnosis and the syndrome gets worse, compensation can be sought through clinical negligence.
If you believe that your cauda equina syndrome has worsened because of poor diagnosis and a delay in cauda equina syndrome treatment, you could be eligible to claim compensation.
