Home Medical Dictionary Contact Us About Us ... Epidural Abscess Epidural Abscess The spinal cord and the roots of nerves that lead from the spinal cord are covered in a membrane called the dura. Epidural abscesses are infections that form in the space around the dura. These may press on the spinal cord or nerve roots so much that mental skills, the ability to feel sensations such as heat and cold or pain and the ability to move in a coordinated way are affected. Symptoms These include a "pins and needles" feeling and mild weakness. Other symptoms include: Back pain and tenderness when touched Weakness in a cauda equina, paraplegic (two limb) or quadriplegic (four limb) pattern Weakness that gets worse over a period of hours or days before suddenly worsening to the point where the person is paralyzed in two limbs (an arm and a leg) or all four (both arms and both legs) Feverishness Motor control symptoms that vary depending on the location of the abscess Causes and Risk Factors Usually the patient has an infection that has spread to the spinal area. The infection could be from a tooth or another part of the body near the spinal cord. About a third of the cases develop without any known cause. These types of infections are usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus followed by Escherichia coli and mixed anaerobes. Rarely, a tuberculous abscess develops with Pott's disease of the thoracic spine.

uhrad.com - Pediatric Imaging Teaching Files Case One - Posterior Epidural Abscess Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: 13 year-old white male presents with a 4-day history of upper thoracic back pain. Increased WBC, febrile, and increased ESR. No significant past medical history. Patient pain confined to the T2 region by exam. Referred to MRI to rule out discitis with possible paraspinal abscess. Findings: T-1 weighted and double echo T-2 weighted sagittal T-1 and gradient echo axial, and contrast-enhanced T- 1 weighted sagittal and axial images of the thoracic spine were obtained. Extensive abnormal collection in the posterior epidural space extending from the cervical region through the lowermost visualized portions of the thoracic spine. The signal is of intermediate on the T-1 and proton density images and of increased signal on the T-2 weighted images. Subsequent to the injection of gadolinium, there is enhancement of the dura as well as peripheral enhancement surrounding this collection. However, there is no evidence of spinal cord enhancement. There are multiple strands of epidural fat extending through the aforementioned enhancing fluid collection with a loculated appearance. At multiple levels the fluid collection appears to extend into the left neural foramina. The signal intrinsically within the cord, vertebral bodies, and disc spaces are all normal. Diagnosis: Extensive posterior epidural abscess. This was confirmed surgically with 35 cc of pus removed.

36. Epidural Abscess Subject epidural abscess Topic Area Neurology General Forum The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By New on Friday, March 30, 2001 http://www.medhelp.org/forums/neuro/messages/31153a.html

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Subject: Epidural Abscess Topic Area: Neurology - General Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By: New on Friday, March 30, 2001 I delivered my first baby on Sept. 4, 2000 with the assistance of an epidural. The site where the injection was made then swelled, was red and by 7 days later, started draining pus. I immediately went to the doctor where I was sent to the hospital and the abscess was lanced and drained. I was seen in the emergency room the following night where it was once again lanced. This was left open to drain for approx. 6 weeks. I also might add that this was the most painful experience I have ever had. Now, six months later, I have numbness on my right leg from the knee down and when I sit for prolonged periods of time and go to get up, the tops of my feet feel like someone is stabbing them with a knife and it takes me a few minutes to be able to walk. I just recently had another MRI which showed no abscess present but a mild broad based disc bulge at L3-4 and L4-5. Could this be related to the abscess? I had an MRI about two days after the site was lanced the first time since they were concerned about meningitis. Also, are epidural abscesses very common? What is the main cause of them? I had an unbelievable uneventful pregnancy but this has really made me question whether I want to have another child. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ways To Help Adam Article Manager Back Back to main Health Information page Disease - Epidural abscess Definition: An epidural abscess is an inflammation that includes a collection of infected material (pus) located between the outer membrane covering the brain and spinal cord (the dura) and the bones of the skull or spine. Alternative Names: Abscess - epidural; Spinal abscess Causes And Risk: An epidural abscess is caused by infection in the area between the bones of the skull or spine, and the outer meninges (the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord). This infection is classified as an intracranial epidural abscess if it is located in the skull area, or as a spinal epidural abscess if it is found in the spine area. The infection is usually caused by bacteria (staphylococcus is common), but some may be caused by fungus. Infected material (pus) frequently includes destroyed tissue cells, white blood cells, and live or dead microorganisms which may wall off into an abscess. There is often inflammation of the tissues around the abscess in response to the infection.
