Background And ObjectivesTo evaluate the etiologies of cauda equina syndrome (CES) and transient radicular irritation (TRI) or transient neurologic symptoms (TNSs) following hyperbaric spinal anesthesia.MethodsA review of recent (since 1991) and prior (since 1941) investigations regarding CES and TRI (TNSs) was conducted.ResultsRecent publications fail to recognize significant prior information regarding CES and TRI (TNSs).ConclusionsCauda equina syndrome is, in all probability, explainable. Further investigation to pinpoint the etiology of TRI (TNSs) is needed.
