Challenges in diagnosis of spinal epidural abscess: A case report
2019
Rationale:
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare condition that shows a high prevalence in immunocompromised patients. The clinical presentation of SEA includes the “classic triad” of pain, fever, and neurological dysfunction. However, these nonspecific features can lead to a high rate of misdiagnosis. SEA may lead to paralysis or even death; thus, prognosis of these patients remains unfavorable.
