  • Title: Multiple spinal epidural abscesses extending to the whole spinal canal.
    Author: Solomou E, Maragkos M, Kotsarini C, Konstantinou D, Maraziotis T.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging; 2004 Jun; 22(5):747-50. PubMed ID: 15172071.
    Abstract:
    Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare life-threatening disease mostly affecting patients with an altered immune system. It presents as a sequela of adjacent infection or hematogenous spread. MRI is the method of choice in evaluating patients with suspected SEAs and should always include the whole spinal canal, excluding the exceedingly rare possibility of multiple epidural collections. We present a rare case of a patient with no predisposing factors suffering from multiple SEAs, extending to the whole spinal canal.
