CES made simple

Cauda Equina is taken from the Latin name and means "Horse's tail". The name describes the bundle of nerves roots that emerge from the end of the spinal cord, resembling a horse's tail. These nerve roots serve the bladder, bowels, sexual function and lower limbs. The syndrome occurs when the nerves are compressed and cause a set of symptoms called "The Red Flags".
