We present a case of a 3-month-old girl in which the diagnosis of spontaneous cervical epidural abscess developed after an initial episode of acute enterocolitis and was subsequently identified at a later visit to the emergency department for right-upper extremity hypoto...

Well-encapsulated, rim-enhancing lesion with mass effect was visualized at ventral side of lumbar spinal canal on 17 days after initial negative MRI, which was thought to be epidural abscess. It was revealed to be intradural in location on operation and successfully treated by drainage ...

Acute cauda equina syndrome secondary to a spinal epidural abscess as a result of a psoas abscess is very uncommon. We report the case of a 64-year old with a 6-day history of left hip pain, which progressively worsened until she presented to the emergency department with systemic infective symptoms and classical acute cauda equina syndrome. A good clinical outcome was achieved by urgent poster...

We report the case of an epidural abscess caused by Mycobacterium abscessus. RGM's have infrequently been reported as spinal infections and we found no prior cases reporting M. abscessus as the definitiv...

An epidural abscess was suspected, but the biochemistry was normal. Excision yielded complete relief of symptoms. Pathological examination demonstrated that the specimen was a migrated disc fragment. The autho...

Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus predisposes to a range of different and unusual infections, including epidural and psoas abscesses. However, they occur mainly in adults with longstanding diabetes. We report the case of a 12 year old boy who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and low back pain, and was subsequently diagnosed with both a left psoas abscess and an extensive thoracolumbar spi...

We report a case of spontaneous spinal epidural abscess (SEA) with initial chief complaint of shoulder pain and no appreciable neurologic symptoms. Since outcomes of SEA appear to be related to the degree of neurologic deficit at the time of intervention, we explore opportunities for earlier diagnosis.
