Abstract
|
|
|
|
Abscesses of the epidural and subdural spine are relatively rare, but can rapidly progress and cause paraplegia; the mortality rate is high despite improvements in treatment method. In particular, the reoccurrence of subdural abscesses after treatment of an epidural abscess is extremely rare. We experienced a case in which the subdural abscess reoccurred after spinal decompression and drainage of an epidural abscess combined with a dural tear. We report this rare case with a review of the relevant literatures.
