    Author: De Iure F, Gasbarrini A, Paderni S, Boriani S.
    Journal: Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci; 2006; 10(3):131-4. PubMed ID: 16875047.
    Abstract:
    Authors report a case of acute paraplegia due to an epidural spinal abscess caused by a heroin injection that happened four months before. A complete neurological recovery is obtained by surgical decompression and antibiotic therapy despite the preoperative neurological status. The need for a surgical stabilization following extensive laminectomy is discussed.
