Cauda equina syndrome occurs when the nerve roots at the caudal end of the cord are compressed or damaged, disrupting motor and sensory pathways to the lower extremities and bladder.

Other causes include congenital neurologic anomalies (eg, spina bifida), spinal cord infection, spinal epidural abscess, spinal cord#160;tumor, spinal cord trauma,#160;spinal stenosis, arteriovenous malformation, and complications after spinal surgery. Many of these conditions cause swelling, which contributes to compression of the nerves.
