- Аннотация: Spinal subdural abscesses (SSAs) are rare pathologies presenting as encapsulated pus located intradurally and extramedullary. Although there is no uniform opinion on the cause of this pathology, approximately 50% of cases are attributed to Staphylococcus aureus infection. Here, we present a rare case of a female patient who presented to N.N. Burdenko Neurosurgical Center for treatment of an extradural tumor in the lower lumbar spine. She complained of acute lower back pain, lower limb muscle spasms, progressive lower limb weakness, numbness in toes, and increased frequency of defecation (five to six times per day). Intraoperatively, we discovered that the epidural space was clear and a subdural abscess was located and removed. The patient was started on antibiotics and recovered 29 days later. This case report illustrates an atypical SSA mimicking an extramedullary tumor on MRI.
