- A 66-year-old male patient was initially diagnosed with prevertebral and retroperitoneal abscessafter cervical acupuncture. The patient underwent cervical incision and drainage, andabdominal percutaneous drainage. During postoperative care, quadriplegia was developed,and an epidural abscess of the spinal cord was identified at the fifth and sixth cervical vertebra.
Urgent decompression and drainage for spinal cord abscess was performed. Sixteenweeks after decompression, quadriplegia was improved and the patient was able to walk byhimself. We report, along with a literature review, a case of multiple abscesses including spinalcord abscess that developed after a cervical acupuncture.
