Two cases of chronic spinal cord abscess are reported, and the relevant literature is reviewed with emphasis on the last 20 cases. Presentation, cause, modern diagnostic testing, operative findings, treatment choices, and prognosis are all discussed. Significant changes in the presentation, management, and outcome in these more recent cases are emphasized.
