Misdiagnosis is very common due to variable presentation.; Prompt diagnosis is key because treatment delay can lead to paralysis or death.; Nonoperative management may represent an alternative in select cases.

Patients diagnosed prior to neurological deficits with a known causative microbial organism can be safely treated with antimicrobial therapy alone.; c. 30%-40% of the patients fail in conservative management without surgery.

SEA is a challenging diagnosis due to its range of risk factors and variety of presentations with up to 90% of patients misdiagnosed on their first ED visit.; b. Factors associated with increased risk of SEA include immunocompromise, bacteremia, contiguous infection (e.g., psoas muscle abscess, osteomyelitis, skin infection), and spinal instrumentation.; c. The classic triad of back pain, fever, and neurologic deficit occurs in less than 8% of cases, though back pain is a common presenting symptom.; d. Up to half of patients experience a neurologic abnormality, but fever is absent in 50%.
