摘要：
A 10-year-old boy presented with a 7-day history of back pain and pyrexia. MRI showed an epidural abscess arising from septic arthritis in a lumbar facet joint. Whilst septic arthritis in a large joint is relatively common in children, epidural abscess is rare. This case iilustrates how infection in a synovial joint may extend into the extradural space and might be the route of infection in more cases than has previously been recognised.
