Intradural abscess: A challenging diagnosis. Case series and review of the literature

Spinal intradural abscesses are extremely rare. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been described in the literature. We report 2 cases of spinal intradural abscesses in patients presenting to our institution with different symptomatology. Both cases involved the lumbar spine, with different eti...

description Spinal intradural abscesses are extremely rare. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been described in the literature. We report 2 cases of spinal intradural abscesses in patients presenting to our institution with different symptomatology. Both cases involved the lumbar spine, with different etiologies: Case 1 was presumptively related to spondylitis phenomena, with surgery confirming the intradural localization of the abscess; case 2 was of probable iatrogenic nature (secondary to lumbar drain positioning). The aim of this report is to briefly discuss the clinical significance and pathogenesis of these cases.
