Abstract
Spontaneous spinal epidural abscess is a rare condition that is devastating and often fatal. Traditionally, surgery and antibiotics have been the treatment of choice; however, there has been some debate on the indications for their use. This technical note discusses a method for decompressing an acute multisegmental pyogenic spinal epidural abscess, thereby avoiding multilevel laminectomies.Mesh:
