Epidural abscess causing cauda equina syndrome.
Irish Journal of Medical Science 2005 July
BACKGROUND: Spinal epidural abscesses are uncommon but are well documented in the literature as a serious causes of mortality and long-term neurological morbidity.
AIM: We describe a case of a 57-year-old female who presented to Accident and Emergency with an acute exacerbation of long standing mild lower back pain with symptoms of cauda equina syndrome and a systemic infective process.
CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of this condition requires a high index of suspicion. This report demonstrates that with adequate decompression and appropriate antimicrobial treatment a good outcome is achievable.
