Sait NADERI , Feridun ACAR , M. Nuri ARDA Dokuz Eylül University School of Medicine, Department Neurosurgery, Inciralti, Izmir , Turkey ABSTRACT A 67-year-old male was operated for a recurrent L4-5 disc herniation. Intraoperative corticosteroid was used topically on epidural space before closure. 15 days after surgery he was readmitted because of severe pain in low back and lower extremities. A lumbar epidural abscess was diagnosed and he was reoperated, his abscess was drained and he was treated with parenteral antibiotics. In this article effect of intraoperative topical epidural corticosteroid usage on postoperative epidural abscess is discussed and literature is reviewed. It is stated that, postoperative lumbar epidural abscess is a benign disease in case treated properly. Surgical drainage and 3-4 weeks of parenteral antibiotherapy is adequate.

Home Cases Main Index Spine Index SRS-X The SRS Educational Resource Case 24 Staphylococcal osteomyelitis with epidural abscess A 56 year old man with falls This 56 year old man had a five year history of Parkinson's disease. Six months earlier he had been treated for septicaemia, and had made a full recovery. Over recent weeks he had suffered an increasing number of falls. He was admitted and again found to be septicaemic, for which he was treated. However he also complained of pain in the groin, and was noted to have bilateral weakness and spasticity of the legs. Investigations revealed a lytic bone lesion in the right superior pubic ramus. However X-rays of the spine were reported to show only some degenerative change in the cervical region. An MRI of the spine was obtained to investigate his leg weakness. Further images were obtained following contrast. Findings The T1 weighted image shows reduced signal from the marrow of the C6 and C7 vertebral bodies, with narrowing of the C6/7 intervertebral disc. There is additional soft tissue posteriorly which impinges on the cord. The post contrast images demonstrate marked enhancement of the marrow of the affected vertebral bodies, and also of the posterior extension.

Used price: Average review score: Finally ..... something at MY level! When our 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with a Brainstem Glioma, the hospital and Child Cancer Foundation (in New Zealand) gave us books to read, if you wanted to wade through all the technical stuff, personally I couldn't cope with it all. Then when I was looking at sites on the internet, I read about this book. I had a look at it at Amazon, and thought about it for a few days, trying to weigh up if it would be relevant to NZ'ers. I finally took the plunge and got it. I am soooo relieved that I did. Suddenly I was able to read something and actually get some benefit from it. The inserts from the parents are wonderful - suddenly I don't feel so alone, and the advice is universal. It relates to anyone in any country going through this nightmare. This book is a "must have" for caregivers As a parent to a child who had a brain tumor, I feel that this book covers all the major topics. When our son was diagnosed back in '98, I searched for such a book but none existed. Our son has since passed away but we are thankful that this book is available - particularly for newly diagnosed families. We purchased copies for our public library and for The Jimmy Fund in memory of our three year-old son, Kevin Kirsch. Thank you for writing this much needed guide. It will be a resource for caregivers and medical professionals alike.

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Z 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, incidence, and risk factors: 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.
