At the same time this system has some deficiencies, namely: the repeated surgical intervention, multistaged character of evacuation, medical care and treatment. In the post-war period the improvement of this system is connected with a radical technical re-equipment of medical service, including modern evacuation facilities, as well as with rational assignment of medical specialists.

Purpose: Spinal epidural abscesses are rare yet serious conditions, often necessitating emergency surgical intervention. Holospinal epidural abscesses (HEA) extending from the cervical to the lumbosacral spine are even rarer and present significant challenges in management. This report aims to describe a case of HEA with both ventrally-located cervical and dorsally-located thoracolumbar epidural abscesses treated with a combination of anterior keyhole decompression and posterior skip decompression surgeries.

These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, but they can also cause local tenderness or thrombo-embolic events. Due to the very low incidence of true brachial artery aneurysms, there are no standardized guidelines on their optimal management.
