AbstractBrucellosis is a zoonotic disease widely seen in endemic regions and that can lead to systemic involvement. The musculoskeletal system is frequently affected, and the disease can exhibit clinical involvements such as arthritis, spondylitis, spondylodiscitis, osteomyelitis, tenosynovitis and bursitis. Spondylitis and spondylodiscitis, common complications of brucellosis, predominantly affect the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae.Epidural abscess may occur as a rare complication of spondylitis. Spinal brucellosis and development of epidural abscess in the cervical region are rare. Development of epidural abscess affects the duration and success of treatment. Spinal brucellosis should be considered in patients presenting with fever and lower back-neck pain in endemic regions, and treatment must be initiated with early diagnosis in order to prevent potential complications.

Tuberculous spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is an uncom-mon pathology, which presents is only 2% of all SEA ca-ses. We report a rare cases of cervical-lumbar and thoracic spinal epidural tuberculous abscess occupying the spinal canal from C2–L3 and Th8–Th9 vertebrae with progressive neurological deficit. Clinical features, diagnostic and treat-ment challenges and follow-up results were presented

Possible Cause

We report a rare case of cervical epidural abscess at the C5-C6 levels. The patient underwent surgery with complete abscess removal through C6 vertebral body corpectomy. The result of bacteriological culture was Brucella melitensis. Brucellosis must be considered as a possible cause of epidural abscess in patients from endemic area.
