A case of epidural spinal abscess is reported. This rare lesion provoked a syndrome of thoracic spinal compression without biohumoral or anamnestic findings of phlogosis. After a brief review of literature, the Authors discuss the usefulness of cortical evoked responses in presence of clinical cross section of the spinal cord.
