We describe 5 patients with spinal epidural abscesses in whom computed tomographic scanning confirmed diagnosis without the use of myelography. One patient required urgent surgery because of rapidly deteriorating neurological status, but the other 4 were treated nonsurgically. The medical treatment of these patients and 9 others described in the literature consisted of antibiotics administered parenterally for a minimum of 8 weeks, followed by oral antibiotic therapy. Early diagnosis with computed tomographic scanning and a benign neurological state at the onset of treatment were associated with good results.
