Abstract
A 58 year old male presented to our outpatient department with history of low back pain since last three years and recent onset pain in his scrotum. Pain in scrotum was typically exacerbated by walking and relieved on stooping or sitting. Urological abnormality was excluded. MRI showed severe canal stenosis at the level of L4/L5 and root compression. Surgical decompression relieved his scrotal and back pain. Cauda equina compression may have uncommon presentation which needs to be investigated by MRI.
Keywords : Back Pain, Cauda Equina, Decompression, Scrotum, Posture.
