Long Segment Spinal Epidural Abscess With Acute Intestinal Obstruction: A Case Report and Literature Review
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a life-threatening condition that often presents with non-specific symptoms, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Rarely, it can co-exist with acute abdominal conditions, which can further complicate the diagnosis and management. Delay in diagnosis and the presence of comorbidities may result in unfavorable outcomes. We present a case of a 55-year-old male diagnosed with a spinal epidural abscess presenting as low back pain, fever, and paraparesis. This case report aims to investigate the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment approaches for spinal epidural abscesses in low and middle-income countries.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
