Spine Pain - Unique Case Report

Case Presentation

Dear friends, presenting a unique case. We had a 55-year-old female admitted with pain on walking associated with perineal numbness on walking for 5-10 minutes, relieved at rest. She had history of slipping of chappal from left foot since a year.

Typically she complained that whenever she micturated she automatically defecated since last 1 year but increased in severity and frequency since last 2 months. At time of admission her frequency was 15-16/day.

This case highlights the importance of recognizing neurogenic claudication with cauda equina syndrome features, which requires urgent evaluation and intervention to prevent permanent neurological damage.
