Abstract
Cervical intramedullary spinal cord abscess is an extremely rare entity. We present a case of a 53-year-old male with a cervical intramedullary spinal cord abscess caused by Streptococcus viridians that presented with 4 days of neck pain and progressive left upper extremity numbness and weakness. The patient was managed with a cervical myelotomy and adjunctive antibiotic treatment.
