Epidural @entity479 injections (ESI) are a common treatment for back @entity158 management. ESI-related complications have increased with the growing number of procedures. We report a case of cervical @entity28270 followed by multiple lumbar ESI. A 60-year-old male with @entity6 presented to our hospital with severe @entity4048 . He had a history of multiple lumbar injections from a local @entity158 clinic. After admission, high fever and elevated inflammatory values were detected. L-spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed @entity1410 in the S1 epidural space. Antibiotic treatment began under the diagnosis of @entity7181 . Despite the treatment, he started to complain of @entity425 in both lower extremities. Three days later, the @entity425 progressed to both upper extremities. C-spine MRI revealed cervical leptomeningeal enhancement in the medulla oblongata and cervical spinal cord. @entity7181 was performed, but there was no neurological improvement.
