  • Title: Management of Holospinal Epidural Abscess.
    Author: Tracz J, Judy B, Witham T.
    Journal: World Neurosurg; 2022 Oct; 166():49-51. PubMed ID: 35863647.
    Abstract:
    Holospinal epidural abscess (HEA) is a rare condition that can cause extensive cord compression, necessitating prompt neurosurgical intervention for evacuation and drainage. Here we report the case of a 74-year-old male with HEA due to Cutibacterium acnes infection leading to headache, neck stiffness, and decreased mental acuity, successfully treated using segmental laminectomies in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.
