- •
S. aureaus skin infection in three young soldiers led to spinal epidural abscess (SEA).
- •
SEA developed from proximal skin lacerations during training.
- •
Neurological deterioration was rapid despite good underlying health and fitness.
- •
A high level of suspicion for SEA is important in patients with multiple skin lacerations.
- •
Urgent MRI followed by emergent surgery is essential.
