Pyogenic Spinal Epidural Abscess: A Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Pyogenic spinal epidural abscess is extremely rare, but a significant disease due to its high mortality rate and remaning neurologic sequela, if it is not diagnosed and treated in time. Recently, it became possible to promptly diagnosis pyogenic epidural abscess by MRI. We report a case who was subjected immediately to surgical drainage under the cover of intravenous antibiotic treatment after diagnosis who recovered completely without any residual.
