    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Spinal epidural abscesses are rare but serious infections.
    • They can present with non-specific symptoms like neck and back pain.
    • Prompt diagnosis is crucial to prevent neurological deficits.

    Observation:

    • A case of acute spinal epidural abscess presenting with neck and back pain is detailed.
    • The patient's symptoms mimicked more common spinal conditions.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights the importance of considering spinal epidural abscess in the differential diagnosis of spinal pain.
    • Radiologic imaging and surgical intervention are key components of management.

    Implications:

    • Early suspicion and intervention for spinal epidural abscess can halt disease progression.
    • This can prevent severe outcomes such as paralysis.
    • Improved awareness among clinicians may lead to better patient outcomes.
