Raymond made contributions in research of syringomyelia, neurasthenia, poliomyelitis, tabes dorsalis and diseases of the cauda equina, to name a few.
Treatment for those with cauda equina can and should be carried out at any time during pregnancy.
The nervous tissue that extends below this point are individual strands that collectively form the cauda equina.
Extremely rare, but potentially serious side effects include: strokes, spinal disc herniation, vertebral and rib fractures and cauda equina syndrome.
After the spinal cord tapers out, the spinal nerves continue to branch out diagonally, forming the cauda equina.
Surgical intervention with decompression of the cauda equina can assist recovery.

Cauda equina syndrome of sudden onset is regarded as a medical/surgical emergency.
