  • Title: Isolated subacute tuberculous spinal epidural abscess of the cervical spine: a brief report of a special case.
    Author: Alg VS, Demetriades AK, Naik S, Gunasekera L.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2009 Jun; 151(6):695-6. PubMed ID: 19300904.
    Abstract:
    A tuberculous spinal epidural abscess is seen rarely as a late complication of Pott's disease or in immunocompromised patients. Such abscesses in isolation are rare indeed and very uncommon in the developed and developing world. We report a patient with an isolated subacute tuberculous spinal epidural abscess without disc or vertebral involvement and no primary focus or risk factors associated with the development of spinal tuberculosis.
