Abstract
|
|
|
abscesses in the spinal epidural space are seen in 0.2~1.2 patients per 10.000 hospital admissions and are much rarer than intracranial abscess. The morbidity and mortality of patients with infections in this location can be high. And most
authors
emphasize prompt diagnosis combined with appropriate antibiotics and surgical theraphy. Although laminectomy is frequently used for diagnosis and decompression of the neural element, it can lead to instability, and there are orther reports
emphasizing
the importance of anterior decompression with stabilization. We discussed the clinical features. Radiologic findings of the case. And reviewed the literatures of this disease.
