Pneumorachis has previously been described only after spread from a contiguous site or after a traumatic event. Our patient experienced sepsis due to multiple enteric organisms, and gas was identified within the spinal canal on computed tomographic imaging. We present the 1st case of pneumorachis caused by disseminated infection.
脊髓积气此前仅在其从相邻部位蔓延或外伤事件后被描述过。我们的患者因多种肠道微生物感染而发生败血症,并且在计算机断层扫描成像中发现椎管内有气体。我们报告了首例由播散性感染引起的脊髓积气病例。
