Spinal Epidural

There are several conditions that have similar symptoms as those seen in spine infections so it is important to apply imaging studies, labs, and patient history in the workup. In the case of a true spinal epidural abscess (SEA) there exists a tetrad of stages, as described by Heusner et al. These can be characterized with a spinal ache or pain that proceeds into the second stage of nerve root pain, which is followed by the third stage of weakness in the voluntary muscles that culminates at the fourth stage of paralysis. Due to the danger of rapid progression, most spinal epidural abscesses are considered to be a neurosurgical emergency.
