Abstract: (8127 Views)
In fungal infections that cause spinal cord compression, there is often bony involvement(Osteomyelitis). Rarely do epidural, subdural or intramedullary abscesses cause myelopathy without osteomyelitis. This is a rare case report of extra-spinal fungal infection which caused cervical myelopathy without osteomyelitis or epidural abscess. Also, no infectious damage was seen in its differencial diagnosis before surgery.
