Abstract

In none of these four cases of "sciatica", in which cauda equina neoplasms were discovered and removed, was there any motor, sensory, reflex, or sphincter disturbance when the diagnosis was made. In each case the diagnosis was established by the combined study of the spinal fluid and intraspinal lipiodol injection.
