Notes:
Summary Seven patients with redundant roots of the cauda equina were followed 2 1/2–l0 years after surgical decompression. Improvement of signs and symptoms occurred in all patients. However, none of them was neurologically intact at the time of the last physical examination, although persistence of minimal neurological signs and/or occasional pain did not prevent a useful occupational activity.
