Neurology and Neurosurgery relates to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, most commonly involving the spinal cord and the brain.
Surgeons need to be extremely skilled as the surgery is often intricate, but mistakes do sometimes happen.
Cases often involve patients with Cauda Equina Syndrome not being diagnosed or treated properly. This syndrome is caused by pressure to the Cauda Equina, sometimes known as the "horse's tail", which controls motor functions such as movement and sensation in the legs, as well as bladder, bowel and sexual functions. Injury to any of these functions can, of course, have severe consequences.
In Cauda Equina cases, prompt diagnosis and surgery, generally within a period of 48 hours, is vital in halting the damage that has occurred and preventing further deterioration.
Whatever your circumstances, MPH can investigate whether your injury has resulted from a lack of surgical care and will help guide you through the complicated claims process.
