Abstract

We report a case of lumbar extradural abscess that presented 9 days after an elective Caesarean section performed under combined spinal-extradural anaesthesia. This was successfully treated conservatively with full recovery. The clinical course included development, and then resolution, of mild paraparesis. Conservative treatment of an extradural abscess in the obstetric population has not been described previously.
