Case Report

Abstract
We present a case report of a 56-year-old woman with cervical and thoracic epidural abscesses shortly after having received acupuncture treatment. The aim of this case report is to highlight a case of epidural abscesses following acupuncture. Epidural abscesses are rare complications of acupuncture treatment, which can potentially have significant neurological and functional consequences. Prompt detection and management of the condition can prevent or reduce permanent disabilities. Individuals who undergo regular acupuncture therapy should be made aware of this possible complication.
