Background: The infectious epidural abscess by Streptococcus agalactiae is a rare, and a surgical emergency with a reserved prognosis. We report, to our knowledge, a rare case of S. agalactiae epiduritis. Case report: This observation reports the case of a diabetic patient who presented with compressive neurological signs. The biological assessment showed an inflammatory syndrome, and a magnetic resonance imaging objectified epiduritis. The bacteriological study of curettage biopsy made it possible to isolate a S. agalactiae. The evolution was favorable under antibiotic treatment with disappearance of neurological and infectious signs. Conclusion: Epidural abscess with S. agalactiae must be evoked with a cytobacteriological study in front of a suggestive symptomatology, especially in case of favoring factor.
