Symptoms of PARASPINAL ABSCESS


Acute paraspinal infections are most commonly bacterial. They produce severe pain in the region of the spine that is affected. Fever and chills usually develop. There is usually limited motion of the spine that is affected, and movement typically produces severe muscle spasms. If the infection invades the spinal canal, an epidural abscess may develop. Compression of the spinal cord or the cauda equina can lead to paralysis or varying degrees of weakness, numbness and bladder dysfunction.
