  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Purulent inflammatory disorders within the spinal canal are considered to be rare, comparing with those within the cranium. Although spinal epidural abscess is a well-known condition and the importance of its early detection is repeatedly stressed, most of the cases were diagnosed only after the appearance of serious neurological problems. The mortality in this disorder has been relatively high, the prognosis being fairly poor. We are reporting the successful treatment of a patient who was in critical condition with quadriparesis, spinal ileus and respiratory distress because of an extensive spinal epidural abscess.
