摘要

Epidural abscess is a rare complication following epidural analgesia but can lead to severe and irreversible neurological damage. Diabetes is a risk factor for developing an epidural abscess. The diagnosis is usually straightforward provided the condition is considered. Suspicion should be raised in patients with back pain, fever and localised spinal or paraspinal tenderness: neurological deficit develops subsequently. All patients suspected of having an epidural abscess should have an MRI scan at the earliest opportunity. Conservative management may be considered but only after neurosurgical consultation. Decompressive laminectomy may be needed urgently. There may be considerable delay between the use of epidural analgesia and presentation of an abscess such that patients do not encounter an acute pain specialist. Consequently, it is important that Acute Pain Teams include discussion regarding the detection and management of this serious complication when training other perioperative clinicians.
