Abstract

A 58-year-old man underwent surgery for an inguinal hernia. Surgery was performed under epidural anaesthesia. The patient afterwards developed increasing low back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an epidural abscess, which was drained by laminectomy. The patient recovered without neurological sequelae.
