摘要
Epidural abscess is a potentially life-threatening disease which can lead to medical-surgical emergency. Idiopathic spinal epidural abscess (SEA) with atypical manifestations is extremely rare. We have found only two such previously reported cases. We describe a further case which led to severe neurological compromise and was not associated with any known risk factors.
