    Author: Sanchez J, Jiménez-Escrig A, Saldaña C, Santoni C, De Andres R, Varela De Seijas E.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Sci; 1992; 36(2):121-5. PubMed ID: 1469474.
    Abstract:
    We report on two cases of cervical epidural abscess (CEA). Their clinical presentation included fever, neck pain and symptoms of neural compression, and the presence of epidural abscess was documented by surgery. Several imaging methods were used to establish a prompt diagnosis of CEA in both patients. Magnetic Resonance image provided a noninvasive means of visualize both extent in the spinal canal and paravertebral locations. None of the other currently used imaging modalities could provide the same information alone. The role of these techniques in diagnosing this condition is discussed.
