Abstract
- Spinal epidural abscess is a medical and/or surgical emergency that may result in paralysis if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. It has been known that Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen and that the posterior thoracic epidural space is a more vulnerable site. However, cervical epidural abscess is uncommon. We have recently experienced a patient with an epidural abscess secondary to acute osteomyelitis of the cervical spine caused by E. coli inary and sphinctor distrubances. Variegate porphyria showed facial diplegia.
