Abstract
A 48-year-old woman presented with severe neck pain on flexion 1 week after a reportedly uncomplicated lumbar puncture, and with a slightly elevated white blood cell count. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an anterior epidural mass that was thought to represent an epidural abscess. At surgery, the epidural "mass" was due to an engorged anterior epidural venous plexus.
