چکیده انگلیسی
Spinal epidural abscess is rare in patients following dental extraction. Only seven cases have been described in the literature. We report the first case of an epidural abscess in the lumbar spine following dental extraction, and present a review of the relevant literature. A 53-year-old man presented with low back pain 1 week following dental extraction, and imaging revealed the presence of a lumbar epidural abscess. He underwent surgical drainage by decompressive laminectomy with evacuation of pus and debridement of the infected bone, and he was treated with a prolonged course of intravenous antibiotics. The patient demonstrated no neurologic sequelae at the 6-month follow-up examination. A search of the relevant literature showed that, of the seven epidural abscesses that occurred following dental extractions, five were cervical and two were intracranial. An epidural abscess in the lumbar spine following dental extraction had not been reported. Thus, this is the first report of an epidural abscess in the lumbar spine following dental extraction. It is also the first case of epidural abscess following dental extraction that was determined to be caused by Streptococcus suis. Our findings indicate that epidural abscess must be considered as a diagnosis for all patients presenting with intractable low back pain, with or without fever and neurologic impairment, after a recent dental extraction. We conclude that appropriate imaging must be conducted for early diagnosis.
