adults presenting to a community emergency department (ED) with neck or back pain. A …

Background/objective Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the
preferred imaging modality for diagnosing pyogenic spinal infection (PSI), but it is not always …

Background. Delayed recognition of spinal epidural abscess (SEA) contributes to poor
outcomes from this highly morbid and potentially lethal infection. We performed a case …

Introduction This study on pyogenic spinal infections with intraspinal epidural involvement
(PSI+) compared the outcome of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) to those without …

Introduction Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare but serious condition that carries with it
a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Objective This review highlights the pearls and pitfalls …

Purpose Cervical spine pyogenic infections are unusual compared to other vertebral
segments, but they can be associated to worse clinical outcomes. We compared all patients …

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare but devastating condition. Entry of infectious
contents into the epidural space occurs via contiguous infected tissue, hematogenous …

Introduction: Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) incidence is rising. However, most series do not
differentiate between SEAs associated with pyogenic infectious spondylodiscitis (PS) and …

Object A spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is rare but potentially devastating if not diagnosed
early. Unfortunately, diagnostic delays and associated neurological deficits are common …
