Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is an unusual form of spinal infection. Performing multilevel laminectomies is controversial in cases of extensive SEA considering the long surgical time and mechanical instability. Here, we report the case of an older woman with extensive SEA and poor general condition who was successfully treated with a less invasive treatment, namely skipped laminotomy using a pediatric feeding tube. A 79-year-old woman complained of progressive weakness in both legs, fever, and back pain. An extensive epidural abscess from the T3 to L5 vertebrae was observed on thoracic and lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We performed skipped laminotomy at the T8 and T12 levels, and a 5-Fr pediatric feeding tube was advanced from the caudal level toward the rostral area and rostral level toward caudal level into the dorsal epidural space. Subsequently, regurgitation was performed with saline through the pediatric feeding tube at each level. Following this, to further irrigate the unexposed epidural abscess through laminotomy, the epidural space was washed by continuous irrigation, and the irrigation system was maintained for 48 hours. Follow-up MRI performed 3 weeks after the procedure confirmed near complete removal of the abscess in the thoracic spine, with a small residual abscess in the lumbar spine.
