Abstract
The history of a patient with neurological deficit symptoms secondary to a spinal epidural abscess connected with psoas abscess and several fistulas on the buttocks is described. Etiology, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed. Percutaneous drainage of the spinal epidural abscess is suggested as an alternative to surgery.Keywords
