Recovery after XXXX caused by dermal sinus infection: intramedullary abscess and tetraparesis.

Congenital dermal sinuses result from abnormal neurulation, and are uncommon. A spinal intramedullary abscess secondary to an infected @entity48 is very rare, and the functional prognosis is usually quite poor. We report on a 16-month-old @entity1 with @entity1688 secondary to intramedullary abscesses because of a @entity281 associated with a dermal sinus. The abscesses were drained, and the @entity48 was removed. Antibiotics were administered for 6 weeks after neurosurgery. The @entity1 was followed at a pediatric rehabilitation department. After 1 year, he was able to walk quickly and had regained appropriate upper limb motor function for his age. However, bladder @entity1690 persisted, requiring intermittent catheterization. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis for surgical intervention and prolonged antibiotic therapy. Long-term follow-up by a multidisciplinary team allowed for the effective management of related neurologic, orthopedic, and @entity1494 .
