Abstract
The management of spinal epidural abscess has changed over the last few years. Originally treatment was thought to be urgent surgical evacuation. In the more recent literature less invasive techniques have been suggested. We present a case, where a cervical epidural abscess at the C2 level was treated with CT guided aspiration and antibiotic therapy. This has not been previously reported.
