Resumen (ES)
A case of postsurgical infection with cervical epidural abscess produced by
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius is presented. The patient underwent previously a cervical arthrodesis
(levels C6-C7) due to a discal herniation. A similar case has not been found in the review of the
literature, taking into account its etiology and localization. It is discussed the importance of anerobic
bacterial infections in osteoarticular pathology, and diagnostic and therapeutic means.
