Spinal Subdural Abscess:Report of a Case

Ⅰ．はじめに

　脊髄硬膜下膿瘍はまれな疾患で，文献上に報告された症例はきわめて少ない．われわれは，馬尾部に発生した脊髄硬膜下膿瘍を経験し，膿瘍を全摘出して治癒せしめたので，ここに報告し，あわせて文献上に報告された症例について考察を加える．

A successfully treated case with a spinal subdural abscess in the lumbar region is reported.

The patient, a 58-year-old male, had been suffered from fever and pain in the back for 2 months prior to the visit to a hospital, where pus was obtained through a lumbar puncture. He was then admitted to the Neurosurgical Cline, Gunma University Hospital on September 6, 1974. On admission, neurological examination revealed an alert patient with flaccid paraparesis, sensory disturbance in bilateral lower limbs and urinary retention.
