Could Spinal Canal Stenosis Cause Cauda Equina Nerve Complications?

My mother in law has been suffering from Moderate to severe spinal canal stenosis is noted resulting in crowding of cauda equina nerve roots.

Answered on 10th Oct '24

Her spinal canal stenosis indicates that the area her spinal cord passes is becoming narrower. The compression may in turn apply force to the nerves that run down her legs, and consequently, she may have pain, weakness, or even numbness. Depending on the specific case, treatment may involve physical therapy, medications for pain, or in rare cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerves.

You have a condition calle­d spinal canal stenosis. This means the space­ around your spinal cord is narrow. The narrowing puts pressure on the­ nerves in your spine. This can le­ad to leg pain, numbness or weakne­ss. Aging and regular use of the spine­ cause wear and tear. Tre­atment options include physical therapy e­xercises, medications, or surge­ry in severe case­s.

I am 69 years old female. Since 2-3weeks I was having pain in right pelvic region and slight low backache.. Other than that I had no any symptoms…I had significant weight loss but didn’t care about it much…10 days back I underwent MRI Lumbo-sacral spine with TIM which showed partial collapse of L1 vertebra showing heterogenous altered signal intensity with in an ill-defined lobulated lesion in right half of body of L1 vertebra suggestive of either being neoplastic or infective..Then I underwent PET-CECT which showed Hypermetabolic lesion involving almost entire caudate lobe of liver suggestive of primary liver malignancy i.e.Hepatocellular carcinoma and hypermetabolic metastatic purely lytic lesion with large soft tissue component in L1 vertebra… I never had alcohol or any HBV or HCV infection nor I am obese..And spinal metastatis is very rare from liver…Please give your expert opinion regarding this case.. what may be the cause and what investigations should I need to do further? Also please tell me about the treatment options I could have

Female | 69

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Are the only options. As being metastatic it's stage 4 ca
