What Is a Spinal Epidural Abscess?
An abscess is a pocket of infection filled with pus that occurs somewhere in your body. It requires medical treatment because an abscess won’t go away on its own. A spinal epidural abscess occurs at the base of the spine. Symptoms include:
- Pain in the lower back or spine
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Fever
- Chills
- Loss of motor control
- Joint stiffness
- Confusion
- Difficulty walking
- Neurological dysfunction
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
Diagnosing and Treating a Spinal Epidural Abscess
For a patient who is suffering from a spinal epidural abscess, it’s crucial to get the correct diagnosis as quickly as possible. When discovered early, doctors can usually treat a spinal epidural abscess with antibiotics. In some cases, a combination of surgery and antibiotics is required. But when treatment is delayed, complications may include bacterial meningitis, paralysis, brain damage, and death.
It’s important for the doctor to review the patient’s medical record and ask about their medical history. Factors that increase the likelihood that a patient is suffering from spinal epidural abscess include spinal injury, bacterial infections, immunodeficiency, blood or bone infection, IV drug use, and diabetes.
The following diagnostic procedures may be required to diagnose a spinal epidural abscess.
- A physical examination
- A CT scan
- An MRI scan
- Tests of fluid from the abscessed areas
- Blood tests
