摘要：

Viral myelitis and bacterial epidural infections are common in intravenous drug abusers, but primary infections of the spinal cord are extremely rare. We report a 50-year-old active intravenous drug user who developed tetraplegia from an intramedullary abscess caused by Pseudomonas cepacia. Despite neurosurgical drainage and appropriate antibiotic therapy, no improvement was seen. Earlier intervention and a high index of suspicion is required in patients with a history of intravenous drug abuse and spinal cord symptoms.
