OVANDO, Fátima; MORINIGO, David  y  SANTA CRUZ SEGOVIA, Francisco Vicente. Spinal subdural abscess caused by Sthaphylococcus aureus. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2016, vol.3, n.2, pp.112-117. ISSN 2312-3893.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2016.03(02)112-117.

Spinal and paraspinal abscesses are a neurosurgical medical emergency, being the spinal subdural abscess a rare form of presentation. The most common ethiologic agent is Staphylococcus aureus. The usual clinical manifestations are medullary involvement and fever. The diagnosis is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium. We report a previously healthy patient that consulted for an acute case of medullary involvement and fever in whom MRI showed a spinal subdural abscess and paraspinal commitment. A quick surgical intervention was performed and the patient received therapy targeted at the isolated germ with favorable evolution

Palabras clave : subdural abscess; Staphylococcus aureus; magnetic resonance imaging.
