Fatal Central Nerve System Infection After Acupuncture Through the Extra-Axial Space of the Cervicomedullary Junction
Abstract

A previously healthy 55-year-old woman complained of headache, vomiting, and become drowsy after acupuncture (C1 to C5) due to left neck pain. Examination showed sluggish light reflex, pupil dilatation, and neck stiffness. Brain CT and MRI confirm ed procedure-related multiple air-bubbles at the cervicomedullary junction. Spinal MRI revealed leptomeningeal enhancement with abscess formation. The CSF biochemical profiling was identified to be Slackia exigua; gram-positive and anaerobic bacillus. It suggests that direct inoculation of Slackia exigua had occurred during acupuncture. She became comatose. Performing acupuncture without adequate and aseptic controls may cause grave CNS infection.

Keywords: Slackia exigua; Acupuncture; Leptomeningeal enhancement; Cervicomedullary junction; Meningoencephalitis; Ventriculitis
