Spinal subdural empyema (SE) is a rare condition. We describe a young patient with a torathic SE after lumbar epidural anaesthesia. SE was distant from the region of manipulation. Spinal magnetic resonance was the most useful procedure for diagnosis and follow-up. Treatment with intravenous antibiotics and drainage was not enough, and she needed complete surgical excision of the lesion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
