1. Clinical Symptoms & Red-Flag Checklist

Cauda Equina Red Flags (Urinary retention/incontinence, saddle anaesthesia, lax anal sphincter)Emergency surgical decompression required within 24 hours to prevent permanent deficit.

Acute Rapidly Progressive Motor Weakness (e.g., new foot drop < 48 hours, profound arm weakness)Requires emergency neurosurgical evaluation within 24 hours.

Acute Intracranial Pressure Signs / Rapid Cranial Deficit (Severe headache with papilloedema, acute cranial nerve palsy)Immediate neurosurgical assessment needed for intracranial mass or hydrocephalus.

Subacute Motor Weakness (MRC Grade 3–4/5 weakness, e.g., progressive wrist drop or knee instability)Urgent evaluation within 7 days recommended to preserve neural function.

Severe Intractable Night Pain with Prior Cancer History (Suspected spinal metastasis)Urgent staging and spinal decompression assessment recommended within 7 days.

Severe Intractable Radicular Pain Refractory to Max Analgesia (> 7 days duration)Urgent neurosurgical consultation for nerve root decompression within 7 days.

Chronic Axial Spine Pain or Stable Mild Radiculopathy (No progressive motor deficit)Routine outpatient consultation within 2–3 weeks.

Mild Peripheral Nerve Entrapment (e.g., mild Carpal Tunnel / Ulnar Neuropathy without muscle wasting)Routine assessment and electrodiagnostic review within 3 weeks.
