We present a case of a patient with diabetes with a pleural empyema originated from a pyomyositis process established after a central line procedure. This empyema later on extended into the spinal canal deriving into an epidural empyema, leading towards a spinal neurogenic shock and death. We discuss the anatomical substrate for this extension as well as the anatomopathological findings observed in the autopsy.
我们报告一例糖尿病患者,其胸腔积脓源自中心静脉置管术后发生的脓性肌炎。该积脓随后蔓延至椎管,发展为硬膜外积脓,导致脊髓神经源性休克并死亡。我们讨论了这种蔓延的解剖学基础以及尸检中观察到的解剖病理学发现。
