Spinal epidural abscess is an uncommon but highly morbid illness. While it usually afflicts older, immunocompromised patients, this condition has been reported as a result of intestinal perforation in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease. Two cases of spinal epidural abscess in patients with inflammatory bowel disease are reported: one in a patient with Crohn's disease and one in a patient with ulcerative colitis after restorative proctocolectomy.
脊柱硬膜外脓肿是一种罕见但致病率很高的疾病。虽然它通常折磨老年免疫功能低下患者,但这种情况已被报道为炎症性肠病患者肠道穿孔的结果。本文报告了两例炎症性肠病患者发生脊柱硬膜外脓肿的病例:一例发生在克罗恩病患者中,另一例发生在接受直肠结肠切除术后的溃疡性结肠炎患者中。
