Spinal epidural abscess after corticosteroid injections

Vijay K Koka et al. South Med J. 2002 Jul.

Abstract

Although spinal epidural abscess is uncommon, its incidence is likely to rise with increasing use of epidural injections for the control of lower back pain. We report a case of spinal epidural abscess after epidural steroid injection. The abscess resolved with conservative medical management.
