Iatrogenic Spinal Epidural Abscess
Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2007 Iatrogenic epidural abscess complicating neuro-axial blockade is rare, but carries significant morbidity and mortality if diagnosis is delayed. First documented in 1974, this disorder is now well described in the literature, and is increasing in incidence.A literature review was undertaken using Medline, all relevant papers on this rare, but important,

Acute epidural abscess is a neurosurgical emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. The devastating consequences of delayed or missed diagnosis require consideration of acute epidural abscess in the differential diagnosis of back pain. Knowledge of the natural history and presentation of this disease will allow its early recognition and ...

Holospinal epidural abscess (HEA) is an extremely rare condition in which spinal epidural abscesses extend from the cervical to the sacral spine. We report two patients who presented with myelopathy secondary to HEA. Both patients underwent urgent surgical decompression and abscess drainage, and had significant improvement in neurological function.

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1979
Two cases of spinal epidural abscess following prolonged epidural anaesthesia are presented. The clinical features included fever, malaise, and signs of nerve root compression; backache was not marked. Prompt surgical drainage and appropriate antibiotics are required to avoid the costly sequelae of bladder and leg paralysis from spinal cord compression.

Spinal epidural abscess is an uncommon disease with a relatively high rate of associated morbidity and mortality. The most important determinant of outcome is early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment.We aim to highlight the clinical manifestations, describe the early diagnostic evaluation, and outline the treatment principles for spinal ...

The British Journal of Radiology, 1982
Intracranial epidural abscess is a serious infection which constitutes a recognised neurosurgical emergency. Most commonly it is caused by spread of infection from the para-nasal sinuses, middle ear or mastoid. Post-craniotomy infection or compound skull fractures can result in an osteomyelitis and hence lead to the formation of an epidural collection.

The Lancet Neurology, 2009
Epidural abcessess can involve the intercranial or spinal compartments and can result in potentially devastating neurological injuries. Although rare, incidence of spinal epidural abscesses (SEAs) is increasing as predisposing factors such as injected-drug use, chronic immunosuppression, and spinal surgery become more common.

Medical Clinics of North America, 1985
Spinal epidural abscess is an uncommon and serious infection resulting from direct extension of a local process or hematogenous spread from an antecedent or ongoing distant focus of infection. The findings of spinal ache, tenderness, and fever should suggest the diagnosis, and the appearance of weakness and loss of sensation below the area of pain ...
