RESUMEN Los disrafismos espinales cerrados tienen una prevalencia aún desconocida e involucran una gran variedad de formas. El lipoma del filum terminal es considerado dentro de los lipomas espinales y suele asociarse a médula anclada. Los estigmas cutáneos lumbosacros no siempre son indicadores de disrafismo espinal cerrado. Reportamos un caso de diagnóstico prenatal de apéndice cutáneo sacro con sospecha de médula anclada, confirmado al nacer como lipoma del filum terminal con médula anclada. ABSTRACT Closed spinal dysraphisms have a still unknown prevalence and involve a wide variety of forms. Lipoma of the filum terminale is considered within spinal lipomas and is usually associated with tethered medulla. Lumbosacral cutaneous stigmata are not always indicative of closed spinal dysraphism. We report a case of prenatal diagnosis of sacral cutaneous appendage with suspected tethered cord, confirmed at birth as lipoma of the filum terminale with tethered cord.

El síndrome de cauda equina es una patología poco frecuente en el área de anestesiología. Esta se caracteriza por presentar un conjunto de signos y síntomas que involucran: dolor, disminución o abolición de la fuerza muscular, disfunción de esfínteres e hipoestesia de silla de montar. El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar y discutir el caso clínico de una paciente con diagnóstico de síndrome de cauda equina posterior a la administración por vía subaracnoidea de bupivacaina al 0,75 % hiperbárica. Se trata de paciente femenina de 42 años a quien se le realizó cesárea segmentaria y salpingectomia bilateral con bloqueo anestésico subaracnoideo; y quien posteriormente a las dieciséis horas del posoperatorio presentó: disminución de la fuerza muscular de miembros inferiores e hipoestesia de región de silla de montar, reflejo rotuliano: 0/4 bilateral y retención urinaria. Se le inicia tratamiento farmacológico y fisiátrico inmediatamente establecido el diagnóstico de síndrome de cauda equina. La paciente fue dada de alta el día diez del posoperatorio, con disminución significativa de la clínica antes descrita, evidenciándose posteriormente retención urinaria por lo que requirió sondaje vesical intermitente. Una vez establecido el diagnostico se instaló inmediatamente tratamiento farmacológico y fisiátrico para dar una oportuna resolución de la patología.

Introducción: el síndrome de cola de caballo (SCC) es una entidad poco frecuente, provocado por la compresión de las raíces nerviosas en el canal a nivel de la cola de caballo. Puede dejar graves secuelas si no es diagnosticado y tratado de forma precoz. Únicamente 2% a 6% de las hernias discales lumbares van a provocar un SCC. El diagnóstico de esta patología se basa en criterios clínicos, siendo éstos objeto de controversia dada la variabilidad de presentación del cuadro clínico. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la presentación clínica y evolución posoperatoria de los pacientes intervenidos por SCC secundaria a hernia de disco por equipo del Centro de Deformidades de Columna (CE.DEF.CO), entre enero de 2009 y diciembre de 2018. Material y método: realizamos un análisis retrospectivo. La población objetivo son los pacientes intervenidos por SCC secundario a hernia discal entre enero de 2009 y diciembre de 2018 por equipo del CE.DEF.CO. Analizamos 20 pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente, de ellos 17 (85%) casos presentaron síntomas urinarios, 18 (90%) casos dolor o elementos deficitarios en miembros inferiores, 13 casos anestesia/hipoestesia en silla de montar, 6 casos síntomas intestinales y 3 casos presentaron disfunciones sexuales. En 19 casos se realizó procedimiento quirúrgico antes de las 48 de iniciados los síntomas. Resultados: la remisión de síntomas esfinterianos al mes es de 83% y al año posoperatorio de casi 87%. Se constató un caso de disfunción sexual al año posoperatorio. Conclusión: el diagnóstico precoz por el médico emergencista es fundamental, por lo que el conocimiento de esta patología es imprescindible. Nuestros resultados en pacientes intervenidos de forma precoz, antes de las 48 horas, fueron similares a los publicados en la bibliografía internacional con bajo porcentaje de secuelas.

- Abstract
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) consists of the application of electrical stimuli to the dorsal columns of the spinal cord or to the posterior nerve roots in order to modulate the pain signals carried by the ascending pain pathways to the brain. Two cases of SCS in patients with cauda equina syndrome after lumbar surgery are presented. They were treated for persistent neuropathic pain but also experienced improvement in their motor and urinary symptoms after this treatment. Although the primary indication for SCS is neuropathic pain control, its application can also lead to improvement of motor deficits, sensory disorders, and urinary incontinence, as shown in these two cases. SCS will likely play a fundamental role in rehabilitative therapies in different neurological diseases. Further investigation in the field is needed., (Copyright © 2021 Sociedad Española de Neurocirugía. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Objective: Cauda equina syndrome (CES) caused by lumbar disk extrusion is classically considered an indication of urgent surgery. CES can be subdivided into CESI (incomplete CES) and CESR (complete CES with urinary retention and incontinence). This paper evaluates the long-term functional outcome of a CES cohort operated on due to disk herniation., Methods: Single-center retrospective observational study. CES patients due to disk herniation that underwent surgery between 2000 and 2016 were included in the study. Demographic data, time intervals to diagnosis and surgery, preoperative neurologic status and outcome at the end of follow up were recorded., Results: Twenty-two patients were included (median age 44 years). Eight patients were CESR and 14 CESI. Median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 78h (range, 12-720h), and from diagnosis to surgery 24h (range, 5-120h). Median follow up was 75 months (range, 20-195 months). At the end of follow up, in the CESR group (median time from diagnosis to surgery, 23h) only pain significantly improved after surgery (p=0.007). In the CESI group (median time from diagnosis to surgery 23h) low back pain, sciatica and urinary sphincter function significantly improved (p<0.001). There were no significant differences between early (<48h) operation (n=4) and late (n=18) in terms of sphincter recovery (Fisher's Exact Test, p=0.076)., Conclusion: Pain associated to CES improved both in the CESI and CESR groups. However, urinary sphincter impairment significantly improved only in the CESI group. No significant differences were found regarding long-term functional outcome between early and late surgery., (Copyright © 2019 Sociedad Española de Neurocirugía.

- Abstract
Low back pain during pregnancy is a common cause of medical consultation. Although back pain is very common, the incidence of low back pain secondary to lumbar disk herniation in pregnancy is low (1: 10,000). Cauda equina syndrome from lumbar disk herniation is a serious complication. The delay in diagnosis and treatment can be a cause of chronic disability secondary to neurological sequelae. Numerous cases of disk herniation in pregnancy have been reported, however the association of a cauda equina syndrome as a result of disk herniation is rare. A case is presented of cauda equina syndrome in a pregnant woman at 12-week gestation., (Copyright © 2015 SECOT. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Objective: To determine whether surgical treatment delayed for more than 48 hours in patients with cauda equina syndrome (CES) influenced the clinical outcome., Material and Methods: A retrospective study of 18 patients treated in our hospital from March 2000 to January 2012, after presenting with CES. The pre- and post-operative clinical status was determined: existence of back pain and/or sciatica, sensory disturbance in the perineum, sensory and motor deficits in the lower extremities, and the degree of sphincter incontinence (complete or incomplete CES). A clinical assessment was performed using the Oswestry disability index., Results: As regards the onset of symptoms, 44% (8 of 18) of patients were treated at an early stage (within 48 hours). None of the patients with complete CES operated in the early stage had urinary incontinence, and also had greater motor recovery. Of the 5 patients with complete CES who underwent delayed surgery, 3 showed residual urinary incontinence. A mean of 12.55 was obtained on the Oswestry disability index scale at the end of follow-up., Conclusion: Although no statistically significant difference was found in our study, we observed greater motor and sphincter recovery in patients who were operated on within 48 hours., (Copyright © 2016 SECOT.
