Objective: The aim of this study is to elucidate the clinical characteristics of patients with spinal epidural abscess(SEA) and demonstrate the risk factors, treatments and neurologic outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and radiologic images of 35 patients admitted to our department with SEA between March 1987 and April 2011. While we performed decompressive laminectomy and abscess drainage on 19 patients (54.3%), and 16 patients (45.7%) initially received conservative therapy with antibiotics alone. Medical Research Council (MRC) scale was applied to estimate results objectively.

Results: The neurological outcome data showed improved MRC scale from 14 (40%) patients. 13 (37.1%) patients showed unchanged MRC scale and 8 (22.9%) patients revealed worsened MRC scale at the time of discharge. The patients with surgical treatment showed more improved MRC scale than the patients with conservative treatment and this was statistically significant (p=0.001) on univariate analysis. Initially, patients with decreased MRC scale and rapidly progressing neurological deficit underwent emergency surgery within 24 hours. Patients with intact MRC scale and minor neurological deficit received delayed surgery or conservative management with antibiotics. Among 19 patients those who experienced emergent operations within 24 hours showed better prognosis than those who underwent delayed operations after 24 hours.

Conclusion: Surgical treatment is the modality of choice in patients with SEA and urgent surgery especially is indicated in patients with neurological deficits. And early surgery is more effective in neurological improvements than delayed surgery and conservative management.
