Bladder ultrasonography in the assessment of cauda equina syndrome in the emergency department: a literature review
Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2023 Apr 13. doi: 10.1308/rcsann.2022.0168. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor cauda equina syndrome (CES), current clinical assessment in the emergency department usually involves perianal sensation (PAS) and anal tone (AT). Neither reliably predict magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating a large central disc prolapse (MRI+). Other clinical examination findings increase the probability of MRI+. Other tests of sacral nerve root function include anal squeeze (AS) and the bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR). If BCR, PAS and AT, and AS are combined and they are all normal, CES can be excluded in almost al...

COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swab and cribriform fracture
We describe a 54-year-old woman presenting with persistent colourless nasal discharge for 2 weeks following a traumatic COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swab. A β2-transferrin test confirmed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea and a high-resolution sinus computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a cribriform plate defect. Magnetic resonance imaging showed radiological features of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH): a Yuh grade V empty sella and thinned anterior skull base. Twenty-four hour intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring confirmed raised pressures, prompting insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The patient ...
