Infectious Spondylodiscitis Accompanied by Widespread Thoracolumbar Subdural Abscess / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Subdural abscess is relatively rare compared with epidural abscess, but it can rapidly progress to complete paraplegia with a poorer outcome. In particular, the occurrence of widespread subdural abscess is extremely rare. We experienced a case of widespread thoracolumbar subdural abscess with infectious spondylodiscitis in the thoracic spine. We report this rare case with a review of relevant literatures.
