Overview
Epidural abscess may be classified according to the location of the infection into 2 groups: intracranial and spinal.[1] Additionally, spinal epidural abscess can be further classified based on the duration of symptoms into either acute or chronic.
Classification
Epidural abscess may be classified according to the location of the infection into 2 groups: intracranial and spinal.[1]
Intracranial Epidural Abscess
The abscess is limited on the inner side by the cranial dura mater and on the outer side by the cranial bone.[2]
Spinal Epidural Abscess
The abscess is limited on the inner side by the spinal dura mater and on the outer side, by the spinal canal.[3] Spinal epidural abscess can be further classified based on the duration of symptoms into either acute or chronic.
Acute
- Fever
- Systemic toxicity
- Peripheral leukocytosis
- Usually posterior to spinal cord
Chronic
- Fever absent
- No elevated inflammation markers
- Usually anterior to spinal cord
