title: [Erection while walking and stenosis of the lumbar canal].
abstract: Lumbar channel stenosis is frequently manifested by a Cauda Equina intermittent claudication. Only exceptionally erections during walking have been described. We have observed two patients with severe lumbar channel stenosis and a Cauda Equina syndrome with intermittent erections during walking. One patient was laminectomized presenting a clinical improvement. There does not exist a satisfactory explanation for this strange affectation.
