Clumping in the cauda equina can occur due to various factors, including nerve root compression, inflammation, or injury. Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors can lead to this compression, causing the nerve roots to aggregate or bunch together. Additionally, degenerative changes in the spine may contribute to the clumping by affecting the surrounding structures. This can result in symptoms such as pain, weakness, or sensory changes in the lower body.
