Cauda equina syndrome is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment, often through surgery to relieve pressure on the nerves. While early intervention can lead to significant improvement in symptoms and function, complete recovery may not be achievable for everyone, and some individuals may experience long-term complications. The extent of recovery often depends on the severity and duration of nerve compression before treatment. Therefore, timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial for the best possible outcome.
