DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PURULENT SPINAL EPIDURITIS
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2015.4.84-87
Abstract
Purulent spinal epiduritis is a rare pathology without pathognomonic symptoms in clinical picture, therefore its diagnosis is difficult, even with the use of neuroimaging techniques. Two cases of purulent spinal epiduritis are presented with the analysis of diagnosis, clinical presentation and treatment. In both cases, surgical treatment was performed including laminectomy, incision, and drainage of abscesses. Postoperative period was uneventful. The treatment allowed achieving quick recovery and minimizing possible consequences of purulent epiduritis. The authors consider that the surgery is a method of choice for purulent spinal epidurirtis treatment.
