Abstract
Antimicrobial therapy has been advocated as the treatment for spinal epidural abscesses in patients without neurologic symptoms.

Clinical scenarios that may preclude surgical decompression are poor surgical candidates and patients with massive panspinal abscesses. In such instances, percutaneous drain placement may be a viable option.
