Abstract

The article presents a medical research on compensatory neovascularization after cauda equina compression in rats. The study observed the ischemic changes in the cauda equina after surgery and the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and neovascularization. It revealed that cauda equina compression seems to induce compensatory neovascularization accompanied by an increase in VEGF expression.
