T9-T10 Osteomyelitis, Epidural Abscess and Cord Compression Secondary to Mycobacterium abscessus. A Case Report.

CONCLUSION: This paper presents a new case of spinal osteomyelitis without a primary source in addition to 10 previously reported M. abscessus cases. The treatment plans and outcomes suggest that surgical debridement along with a macrolide-based combination therapy should be considered a definitive treatment against Mycobacterium abscesses.
