Zusammenfassung:The current study aimed to evaluate the relationship between preoperative neuroradiological findings and intraoperative bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) amplitude in patients with intradural extramedullary tumors. A total of 24 patients with lesions below the 12th thoracic vertebra were included in the analysis. Objective and subjective urinary symptoms were investigated using data obtained from medical records and the core lower urethral symptom score (CLSS) questionnaire. The lesion compression rate was evaluated with MRI. In the epiconus-to-conus medullaris (Epi-CM) group, BCR amplitude changes were found to be correlated with the compression rate (p
