Background:

Post-traumatic cauda equina nerve calcification is an exceptionally rare clinical occurrence.
Limited research exists on its etiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and prognosis.

Observation:

A 52-year-old patient with a history of lumbar spinal stenosis and fracture presented with significant right lower limb neurological deficits.
Computed tomography revealed cauda equina nerve calcification and terminal filament involvement.
The patient experienced weakness, sensory loss below the knee, and motor deficits.

Findings:

The case presents a rare instance of post-traumatic cauda equina nerve calcification.
Conservative treatment was administered, resulting in minor symptom improvement.

Implications:

This case underscores the rarity of post-traumatic cauda equina nerve calcification.
Further research is crucial to elucidate the etiology, mechanisms, and optimal treatment strategies.
Understanding this condition is vital for improving patient outcomes.
