Low back pain during pregnancy is a common cause of medical consultation. Although back pain is very common, the incidence of low back pain secondary to lumbar disc herniation in pregnancy is low (1:10,000).Cauda equina syndrome from lumbar disc herniation is a serious complication. The delay in diagnosis and treatment can be a cause of chronic disability secondary to neurological sequelae. Numerous cases of disc herniation in pregnancy have been reported, however the association of a cauda equina syndrome as a result of disc herniation is rare. A case is presented of cauda equina syndrome in a pregnant woman at 12-week gestation.
