Abstract

Incidence of the spinal epidural abscess is rare in neonates [1,2]. Despite no associated specific signs and symptoms, this condition usually commonly presented with neurological deficits. Case Report: A case of the spinal epidural abscess is reported, who initially present with nonspecific signs and symptoms and reduced bilateral lower limb movement for months. Magnetic resonance imaging was done for this case, and the results showed T4 to T8 spondylodiscitis with paravertebral enhancing collection causing cord compression. Antituberculosis treatment was started for this patient for a duration of 6 weeks. The patient underwent spinal decompression with drainage. Conclusion: Surgical intervention is generally warranted in cases involving spinal instability, worsening neurological symptoms, and inadequate response to pharmacological treatment.
