Percutaneous Drainage of Epidural abscess in Lumbar Spin: Case Report / 대한척추외과학회지

ABSTRACT

The choice of treatment of an epidural abscess is surgical decompression accompanied by an adequate parenteral antibiotics injection. However, in selected patients, unable to endure a surgical procedure due to a medical problem, percutaneous drainage using a spring wire guide & CVP catheter through the sacral hiatus, under fluoroscopic monitoring, is thought to be a good alternative choice for surgical decompression.
