Abstract:
Background Spinal epidural abscess is a rare but serious condition that can cause spinal cord compression and neurological deficits. Case Description and Methods The article reports a case of a 31-year-old patient who presented with an infectious cellulitis in the left hand, which progressed to a spinal epidural abscess. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment involved laminectomy, after which the patient had complete recovery of neurological deficits. This article is a case report with a literature review. Patient data and images were collected by the researchers who participated in the patient\'s care. The literature was reviewed by one of the researchers based on the search for articles in the PubMed database. For the research, the following keywords were inserted: \"Spinal epidural empyema,\" \"Spinal epidural abscess.\" Conclusion Spinal epidural abscess is often underdiagnosed, which can lead to delays in treatment and serious complications. The relationship between cellulitis and spinal epidural abscess may be related to the spread of infection through the lymphatic or blood system.
摘要:
背景:脊髓硬膜外脓肿是一种罕见但严重的疾病,可引起脊髓压迫和神经功能缺损。病例描述和方法本文报告了一例31岁的患者,其左手表现为传染性蜂窝织炎,进展为脊髓硬膜外脓肿。通过临床检查和磁共振成像证实了诊断。治疗包括椎板切除术,之后,患者的神经功能缺损完全恢复。本文是一个病例报告,并进行了文献综述。患者数据和图像由参与患者护理的研究人员收集。其中一位研究人员根据在PubMed数据库中搜索的文章对文献进行了审查。为了研究,插入以下关键词:“脊髓硬膜外积脓,\"\"脊髓硬膜外脓肿。“结论椎管内硬膜外脓肿常被诊断不足,这可能导致治疗延误和严重的并发症。蜂窝织炎与脊髓硬膜外脓肿之间的关系可能与感染通过淋巴或血液系统的传播有关。
