The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment involved laminectomy, after which the patient had complete recovery of neurological deficits. This article is a case report with a literature review. Patient data and images were collected by the researchers who participated in the patient's care. The literature was reviewed by one of the researchers based on the search for articles in the PubMed database. For the research, the following keywords were inserted: \u201cSpinal epidural empyema,\u201d \u201cSpinal epidural abscess.\u201d<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Spinal epidural abscess is often underdiagnosed, which can lead to delays in treatment and serious complications. The relationship between cellulitis and spinal epidural abscess may be related to the spread of infection through the lymphatic or blood system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2267-1810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,14]],"date-time":"2024-02-14T00:29:55Z","timestamp":1707870595000},"page":"e29-e38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Acute
