Spinal intradural abscesses are extremely rare. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been described in the literature. We report 2 cases of spinal intradural abscesses in patients presenting to our institution with different symptomatology. Both cases involved the lumbar spine, with different etiologies: Case 1 was presumptively related to spondylitis phenomena, with surgery confirming the intradural localization of the abscess; case 2 was of probable iatrogenic nature (secondary to lumbar drain positioning). The aim of this report is to briefly discuss the clinical significance and pathogenesis of these cases.
脊髓硬膜内脓肿极为罕见。据我们所知，文献中仅描述过少数病例。我们报告了2例脊髓硬膜内脓肿病例，这2例患者在我院就诊时表现出不同的症状。两例均累及腰椎，病因各异：病例1据推测与脊柱炎现象有关，手术证实脓肿位于硬膜内；病例2可能具有医源性（继发于腰大池引流管放置）。本报告旨在简要讨论这些病例的临床意义及发病机制。
