While combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSE) is a frequently used and safe anesthetic method, particularly in orthopedic surgery, it has a serious complication risk. Epidural abscess is a complication of regional anesthesia, which is rare but can be fatal if not diagnosed in time. In this case study, we present a case of epidural abscess development following CSE anesthesia, its diagnosis and treatment.
