متن کاملCauda equina and lumbar nerve root compression in patients with AIDS.
Five patients known to be HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-positive--that is, susceptible to AIDS--presented with symptoms initially thought to be indicative of lumbar disc lesions. Signs of nerve root or cauda equina compression were found in all five patients. Lumbar radiculography and, in one patient, computerised tomography produced no evidence of compressive pathology. We recommend that ...
