The neurological examination, developed and tested since the 1800s has provided physicians with a vital tool to rapidly assess and provide clues to many of the pathological processes lurking inside the brain and spinal cord. With the advent of magnetic resonance imaging, physicians are able to visualize the precise location of the abscess before surgical intervention. In this case report, we present a 51-year-old male with an epidural abscess with multifocal compressive myelopathy, resulting in a complicated neurological examination, making localization a diagnostic challenge. With this case, we would like to stress that complicated multifocal lesions of the cord may present with a large variation in examination findings. This patient’s neurological exam was complicated secondary to a ventrally as well as dorsally located epidural abscess with superimposed spinal shock sequelae. We would like to highlight the importance of a thorough history and the neurological examination but also mention some of its limitations. It is crucial to use clinical judgement to navigate the patient’s history, presentation, and examination to accurately diagnose and treat, particularly so in cases involving compressive myelopathies of the spinal cord.
