- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

- Definition
-
under construction; usually presents with compression of cauda equinae lower lumbar and sacral radiculopathy with bowel and bladder symptoms with bilateral back pain and perineal dysesthesias; caused by disk, DJD, mass in lower lumbar spinal canal; congental hereditary shallow spinal canal is seen; most common in elderly with compression fractures old surgery, osteophytes, and severe osteoarthritis; surgery is best treatment if severe or progressive;CT or MRI imaging
