Southern Medical Journal March, 2003 by Howell, Charles Content provided in partnership with Read the full article with a Free Trial of HighBeam Research Abstract: Medical conditions predisposing to epidural abscess include diabetes, intravenous drug use, alcoholism, and other immuno-compromised states. Although cirrhosis is associated with an increased risk of infection in general it has not previously been identified as a condition predisposing to epidural abscess. We describe two cirrhotic patients with spinal epidural abscesses. We speculate that the underlying immune defects associated with cirrhosis increase the risk of spontaneous epidural abscess and should raise concern for this infection when cirrhotic patients present ...

@import url(default.css); Back to Health Library Print This Page Email to a Friend Epidural abscess Definition: An epidural abscess is an inflammation that includes a collection of infected material (pus) located between the outer membrane covering the brain and spinal cord (the dura) and the bones of the skull or spine. Alternative Names: Abscess - epidural; Spinal abscess Causes, incidence, and risk factors: An epidural abscess is caused by infection in the area between the bones of the skull or spine, and the outer meninges (the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord). This infection is classified as an intracranial epidural abscess if it is located in the skull area, or as a spinal epidural abscess if it is found in the spine area. The infection is usually caused by bacteria ( staphylococcus is common), but some may be caused by fungus. Infected material (pus) frequently includes destroyed tissue cells, white blood cells, and live or dead microorganisms which may wall off into an abscess. There is often inflammation of the tissues around the abscess in response to the infection.

Home Medical Dictionary Contact Us About Us ... Epidural Abscess Epidural Abscess The spinal cord and the roots of nerves that lead from the spinal cord are covered in a membrane called the dura. Epidural abscesses are infections that form in the space around the dura. These may press on the spinal cord or nerve roots so much that mental skills, the ability to feel sensations (such as heat and cold or pain) and the ability to move in a coordinated way are affected. Symptoms Symptoms include: A "pins and needles" feeling Back pain and tenderness when touched Weakness in a cauda equina, paraplegic (two limb) or quadriplegic (four limb) pattern Weakness that gets worse over a period of hours or days before suddenly worsening to the point of paralysis in two limbs (an arm and a leg) or all four (both arms and both legs) Feverishness Motor control symptoms that vary depending on the location of the abscess Causes and Risk Factors Usually the patient has an infection that has spread to the spinal area, but about a third of the cases develop without any known cause. These types of infections are usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, followed by Escherichia coli and mixed anaerobes. Rarely, a tuberculous abscess develops with Pott's disease of the thoracic spine. Diagnosis As with all infections, the white blood cell count may be higher than normal, indicating the presence of an infection. A

The spinal epidural space, being a true space which is filled with fat and vessels, is much more susceptible to infection than the intracranial epidural space, where the dura mater is tightly laminated to the inner layer of the skull and infection is more likely to occur in the subdural space. The estimated incidence of spinal epidural abscess is approximately 2.8 cases per 10,000 admissions to large tertiary-care centres, the range of age being very broad from 3 months to 81 years without gender prevalence. Infection in the spinal epidural space may occur by haemotogenous or local spread. Infection through local spread usually occurs as a result of osteomyelitis, retropharyngeal, or perinephritic and psoas abscesses, or it may be iatrogenic (surgery or percutaneous procedures) or traumatic (penetration injuries) in nature. When the infection is transmitted through the haematogenous route the source of infection is more often localized in the soft tissues, or it can be an endocarditis, an infection of the respiratory system, a dental abscess, an infection of the lower abdomen. Underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, alcoholism, intravenous drug abuse, cirrhosis, malignancies and renal failure are found to be associated. The clinical picture is that of backpain and focal vertebral pain followed by radiculopathy, paresthesias and spinal cord dysfunction starting with sensory deficit and bowel disturbances and ending with paralysis, with a pre-existing febrile context. More acute presentations suggest the haematogenous route whereas a slow onset is more characteristic of a gradually expanding contiguous infection.

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Epidural Abscess Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Topic: Neurology - General Subject: Epidural Abscess From To Post New I delivered my first baby on Sept. 4, 2000 with the assistance of an epidural. The site where the injection was made then swelled, was red and by 7 days later, started draining pus. I immediately went to the doctor where I was sent to the hospital and the abscess was lanced and drained. I was seen in the emergency room the following night where it was once again lanced. This was left open to drain for approx. 6 weeks. I also might add that this was the most painful experience I have ever had. Now, six months later, I have numbness on my right leg from the knee down and when I sit for prolonged periods of time and go to get up, the tops of my feet feel like someone is stabbing them with a knife and it takes me a few minutes to be able to walk. I just recently had another MRI which showed no abscess present but a mild broad based disc bulge at L3-4 and L4-5. Could this be related to the abscess? I had an MRI about two days after the site was lanced the first time since they were concerned about meningitis. Also, are epidural abscesses very common? What is the main cause of them? I had an unbelievable uneventful pregnancy but this has really made me question whether I want to have another child. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
