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.

Iatrogenic epidural spinal abscess
The Clinical Investigator, 1993We present four cases of iatrogenic epidural spinal abscess directly caused by externally introduced catheters or probes. In two patients the infection spread per continuum, in the other two patients due to haematogenous dissemination. Clinical presentation in each case included generalized malaise with fever, signs of meningeal inflammation and focal ...

Spinal Epidural Abscess in Adults
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2004Spinal epidural abscess is a potentially life-threatening disease that can cause paralysis by the accumulation of purulent material in the epidural space. Although modern diagnostic and management methods have improved the prognosis, morbidity and mortality remain significant.

Spinal epidural abscesses are often initially misdiagnosed, particularly in neurologically intact patients. Epidural infections can cause injury to the spinal cord. The incidence of these infections has increased with increasing use of spinal instrumentation, vascular access, and injection drugs.

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1969
Acute spinal epidural abscess is described in two patients. In the patient in whom the abscess was recognized early and decompression effected a complete recovery of cord function occurred, whereas in the second case, where recognition and treatment were delayed, permanent damage was the end‐result.

Brucellar spinal epidural abscess
European Journal of Neurology, 1999Spinal epidural abscesses account for approximately one of every 10,000 admissions to tertiary hospitals. The midthoracic vertebrae are the most frequently affected, whilst the cervical spine is involved in fewer patients. Staphylococcus aureus is identified as the cause in most cases of epidural abscess; other bacteria responsible include Gram ...

SPINAL EPIDURAL ABSCESSES IN CHILDREN
Orthopedics, 1994ABSTRACT Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is rare, especially in children, in which fewer than 90 cases have been reported. We present three case examples illustrating the complex course before diagnosis and treatment. All patients had back pain, but two had pain of the abdomen or extremity dominating the clinical picture.

Update on spinal epidural abscess
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2019Purpose of review Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is still a rare but potentially very morbid infection of the spine. In recent years, the incidence has risen sharply but the condition remains a medical conundrum wrought with unacceptably long diagnostic delays. The outcome depends on timely diagnosis and missed opportunities can
