ABSTRACT
Cervical epidural abscess (CEA) is a very uncommon disease with diverse clinical presentations. Clinically, it is difficult to diagnose this disease, especially in early stage. We report an atypical case of CEA showing only progressive quadriparesis without any other symptoms or signs of CEA. From this experience, CEA must be considered when progressive quadriparesis without any specific cause is developed in immuno-compromised patients and diabetic patients with polyneuropathies.
