Chia-Ying Li1, Wei-Chou Chen, Shih-Hung Yang, Yung-Chie Lee.   

Abstract

The esophageal stent is used extensively for a malignant stricture, and many complications have been reported. We present a case of esophageal cancer with surgical esophageal stenting. Spinal epidural abscess occurred postoperatively, and we believe that the pathogenesis may be related to the esophageal stent.
