Cauda equina syndrome and lumbar diskitis are relatively uncommon conditions. This case report describes a case of concomitant presentation of cauda equina syndrome and lumbar diskitis in a patient with an Escherichia coli culture-positive extruded disk fragment. To our knowledge this is the first case of a patient who presented with cauda equina syndrome secondary to lumbar diskitis from a urinary tract infection.
