J Van Bergen1, M Plazier, J Baets, P Jan Simons.   

Abstract

A spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is an uncommon condition, appearing in 0.2-2 cases per 10,000 hospital admissions. Urgent surgical decompression in combination with long term antibiotics is the common treatment of choice for SEA. However, in some cases, a non-surgical treatment can also be considered. In this case report, a patient is presented with SEA extending from C2 to L3 which was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy without surgical intervention.
