AbstractHolospinal epidural abscess (HEA) is a rare condition that can cause extensive cord compression, necessitating prompt neurosurgical intervention for evacuation and drainage. Here we report the case of a 74-year-old male with HEA due to Cutibacterium acnes infection leading to headache, neck stiffness, and decreased mental acuity, successfully treated using segmental laminectomies in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
