چکیده انگلیسی
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is an extremely rare and disastrous musculoskeletal complication of spondylodiscitis and sacroilitis secondary to brucellosis infection. Few case reports and retrospective studies have been published reporting patients with epidural abscesses mainly lumbar, and thoracic while cervical abscess are rare. Management of spinal epidural abscess due to Brucella species is not standard and remains controversial. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of brucellar cervical epidural abscess reported in Saudi Arabia. In this paper, we review the literature and report a case of a 67-year-old Saudi gentleman, who presented with fever and back pain. Further evaluation revealed cervical epidural abscess and a positive serology for brucellosis. Following 6 months of antibiotic therapy alone against brucellosis, he showed significant clinical and radiological improvement. Spinal epidural abscess caused by brucellosis is a rare condition, difficult to diagnose, and can be complicated by disastrous neurological or vascular complication if left untreated. Brucellosis must be considered as a possible cause of spinal epidural abscess in patients from endemic area. Hence, early detection and initiation of appropriate medical treatment alone is crucial in preventing permanent neurological complication, and possibly avoid surgical intervention.
