Other congenital cauda equina malformations occur when the spinal cord fails to properly form during fetal development, often resulting in the nerve roots of the cauda equina being compressed or malformed. this can lead to neurological deficits, including paralysis of the lower limbs, loss of bladder and bowel control, and sensory deficits.
What happens during the disease - other congenital cauda equina malformations
