    Acute spinal epidural abscesses are a rare but serious cause of paraplegia. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, including antibiotics and surgery, are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare condition.
    • SEA can lead to rapid paraplegia if not treated promptly.
    • Staphylococcus is the most common pathogen.

    Purpose:

    • To review the presentation, diagnosis, and management of acute spinal epidural abscesses.
    • To emphasize the importance of early intervention in preventing neurological deficits.

    Summary:

    • Seven cases of SEA causing paraplegia over ten years are presented.
    • Fever and severe localized back pain are key symptoms.
    • Myelography is highly effective in diagnosing SEA (96% accuracy).
    • High-dose antibiotics and surgical decompression are the primary treatments.

    Impact:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for preserving neurological function.
    • This condition requires a multidisciplinary approach involving neurology, neurosurgery, and infectious disease specialists.
    • Understanding the diagnostic and therapeutic nuances of SEA can improve patient prognosis.
