Seven cases with an acute epidural spinal empyema are presented. The best results are observed in cases with early treatment. Since this rare condition is not widely known and swift diagnosis and treatment is imperative, it is stressed that immediate referral of the patient with back pain and any signs of infection in addition to commencing neurological abnormalities to a neurological unit for myelography can be vital or can at least reduce the risk of permanent paraplegia.
本文报告了7例急性硬脊膜外脊髓脓肿病例。早期治疗的病例效果最佳。由于这种罕见病症并不广为人知，且迅速诊断和治疗至关重要，因此强调，对于背痛且伴有任何感染迹象以及出现神经功能异常的患者，应立即转诊至神经科进行脊髓造影，这可能至关重要，或者至少可以降低永久性截瘫的风险。
