A spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is an uncommon condition, appearing in 0.2-2 cases per 10,000 hospital admissions. Urgent surgical decompression in combination with long term antibiotics is the common treatment of choice for SEA. However, in some cases, a non-surgical treatment can also be considered. In this case report, a patient is presented with SEA extending from C2 to L3 which was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy without surgical intervention.
脊髓硬膜外脓肿(SEA)是一种罕见疾病,每10000例住院患者中出现0.2 - 2例。紧急手术减压联合长期抗生素治疗是SEA常见的治疗选择。然而,在某些情况下,也可考虑非手术治疗。在本病例报告中,一名患者的SEA从C2延伸至L3,通过抗生素治疗成功治愈,未进行手术干预。
