A tuberculous spinal epidural abscess is seen rarely as a late complication of Pott's disease or in immunocompromised patients. Such abscesses in isolation are rare indeed and very uncommon in the developed and developing world. We report a patient with an isolated subacute tuberculous spinal epidural abscess without disc or vertebral involvement and no primary focus or risk factors associated with the development of spinal tuberculosis.
结核性脊柱硬膜外脓肿很少见,可作为波特病的晚期并发症出现,或见于免疫功能低下的患者。这种孤立性脓肿确实罕见,在发达国家和发展中国家都非常不常见。我们报告一例孤立性亚急性结核性脊柱硬膜外脓肿患者,无椎间盘或椎体受累,也无与脊柱结核发生相关的原发灶或危险因素。
