Spinal Epidural Abscess Presenting with Paraplegia Following Delayed Presentation of Traumatic Esophageal Perforation without Spinal Fracture: Lessons to be Learnt.

Abstract

We describe a case of esophageal perforation following blunt chest trauma with delayed presentation as paraplegia secondary to spinal epidural abscess formation. The case highlights the importance of the awareness of the possibility of esophageal injury in patients following road traffic collisions.
