Abstract

The epidemiology of cauda equina and conus medullaris lesions is not well known, and this study aimed to provide further information on this topic. In the period 1996–2004, patients fulfilling the clinical, electrodiagnostic, and radiological criteria for such lesions were identified. For cauda equina/conus medullaris lesions an annual incidence rate of 3.4/1.5 per million, and period prevalence of 8.9/4.5 per 100,000 population were calculated. The values obtained are probably valid estimates of the incidence and prevalence of these lesions in developed countries. Muscle Nerve, 2006
