摘要: Intramedullary abscesses of the spinal cord are uncommon. Most them occur in association with heart, pulmonary or urogenital infections. We report two cases intramedullary secondary to congenital dermal sinus. Only 14 such an have previously been reported. In our cases, sinus was associated epidermoid tumour. The clinical presentation, pathogenesis, magnetic resonance imaging findings, surgical management and outcome discussed.
