Classification
An epidural abscess is an suppurative infection of the central nervous system, a collection of pus localised in the epidural space lying outside the dura mater. It will be classified, according to its location, in intracranial and spinal epidural abscess. [1]
Intracranial Epidural Abscess
In this case 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
Here, the abscess is limited on the inner side by the spinal dura mater and on the outer side, by the bony vertebral canal. [3]
