    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) presents with non-specific symptoms, leading to frequent misdiagnosis.
    • Alcoholic patients are particularly vulnerable to delayed diagnosis due to misinterpretation of symptoms as alcoholism complications.
    • Delayed diagnosis and management of SEA significantly worsen patient prognosis.
