AbstractSuspected cauda equina syndrome (CES) requires urgent evaluation, investigation and treatment. Timing of cauda equina decompression is crucial, and delays in its management, leading to significant irreversible disability can be devastating for patient and surgeon alike. The standard of care in CES therefore needs to be clear and unambiguous. Todd and Dickson have written an excellent paper summarising the condition, and have outlined what they feel is the standard of care. We would ask the authors to clarify an important point.
