Non-operative management of an extensive anteriorly located epidural abscess.

C O'Brien1, B Lenehan, J Street.   

Abstract

Spinal epidural abscess is a rare, but potentially devastating, infection. The atypical involvement of more than five spinal levels (termed "extensive") is very uncommon. In this report we discuss the successful non-operative treatment of a 71-year-old male with an anteriorly located holocord abscess and review the pertinent literature.
