This was the aim of the present report. From the registrars of a diagnostic and rehabilitation centres 67 patients with clinical, electrodiagnostic and radiological findings supportive of the cauda equina lesions were recruited. The Slovene versions of the standard questionnaires for anal incontinence and constipation were used. The responses were scored, impairments categorized and previous treatments noted. Neurological examination, electromyography (EMG) of lumbo\u2010sacral myotomes, quantitative anal sphincter EMG and electromyographic evaluation of the sacral reflex were performed. Severe anal incontinence\/constipation was reported by 18%\/0%, moderate by 36%\/33%, and slight by 28%\/43% of our patients. Twenty\u2010one per cent of patients wore pads continuously and 14% occasionally. More than half of the patients (60%) reported changes in their lifestyle due to anal incontinence. No patient had completely normal findings on neurological examination. Perianal sensory loss correlated (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003&lt;\u20030.05) with anal incontinence and gender with constipation (women &gt;men). Only two patients had received medical attention for bowel dysfunction. Study thus demonstrated significant bowel impairment in patients with lesions of the cauda equina, which has received insufficient medical attention.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2006.01423.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,12]],"date-time":"2006-06-12T07:13:17Z","timestamp":1150096397000},"page":"1112-1117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Bowel dysfunction in patients with cauda equina lesions"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Podnar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.28.1.58"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(90)91087-M"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.870060211"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(96)91487-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.sc.3100461"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1177\/003591577206500127","article-title":"Surgical management of the bowel in cauda equina lesions","volume":"65","author":"Kettlewell MG","year":"1972","journal-title":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","article-title":"Bladder dysfunction in cauda equina patients","author":"Podnar S","journal-title":"Neurourology and Urodynamics"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.73.6.715"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02050307"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02056950"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.1018"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.10058"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.10207"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.10017"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.50.4.480"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.17.4.306"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836-198910000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02554713"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","first-page":"891","article-title":"Colonic motility and tone after spinal cord and cauda equina injury","volume":"92","author":"Bruninga K","year":"1997","journal-title":"American Journal of Gastroenterology"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(79)90166-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800640820"}],"container-title":["European Journal of Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1468-1331.2006.01423.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2006.01423.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]],"date-time":"2023-09-28T18:08:47Z","timestamp":1695924527000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2006.01423.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,20]]},"references-count":21,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2006.01423.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2006.01423.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1351-5101","1468-1331"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1351-5101","type":"print"},{"value":"1468-1331","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,20]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2006-09-20","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
