Key Points

To explore the long-term recovery of bladder and sexual function in cases of incomplete cauda equina syndrome following delayed surgical intervention.
Assessment of bladder and sexual function post-surgery
Evaluation of neurological completeness at presentation
Analysis of long-term outcomes after decompression
Significant recovery of bladder function observed in several cases
Noticeable improvement in sexual function reported after surgery
Neurological completeness at presentation emerged as a strong prognostic factor

Abstract

Meaningful long-term recovery of bladder and sexual function is possible in incomplete CES despite delayed decompression, suggesting that neurological completeness at presentation may be a stronger prognostic factor than timing alone. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2647.
