Abstract
Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is an uncommon neurological condition resulting in the retention of urine in young women [1]. This is usually caused by the compression of the cauda equina, resulting in the dysfunction of the sacral and lumbar nerve roots in the vertebral canal [2]. Clinical diagnosis is based upon impairment of bladder, bowel, or sexual function and perianal or saddle numbness. An MRI scan confirms the level and the pathological diagnosis [3].
