C. Parliercuau et al., SUBDURAL ABSCESSES - A RARE COMPLICATION OF EPIDURAL INFILTRATION - REPORT OF ONE CASE AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE, Journal de radiologie, 74(4), 1993, pp. 205-209
Lumbar subdural abscesses have rarely been reported in the literature,
and the complications of epidural infiltrations predominantly include
arachnoiditis, meningitis and epidural abscesses. We report a case of
lumbar subdural abscess confirmed by surgery, which appeared followin
g epidural infiltration for lumbar sciatica and was examined with comp
uted tomography and MRI. Only the latter technique alone showed the ab
scess, after gadolinium injection, and established its intradural site
.
