Overview
In general, epidural abscess is rare. Intracranial epidural abscess is the more rare type of epidural abscess and the 3rd most common focal intracranial infection. Spinal epidural abscess is more common than intracranial epidural abscess, however is still rare in the general population, accounting for 2.5 to 3 cases per 10,000 hospital admissions per year.[1] Estimates of the incidence after central nerve block vary from 1 per 1,000 hospital admissions to 1 per 100,000 hospital admissions.[2] Prevalence of epidural abscess is greatest between the fifth and seventh decades of life.[3]
Epidemiology And Demographics
Intracranial Epidural Abscess
Intracranial epidural abscess is the more rare type of epidural abscess, accounting for 1 out of 10 cases of the disease. However, it is the 3rd most common focal intracranial infection, following brain abscess and subdural empyema. Today it occurs most often following neurosurgical procedures and in IV drug users. Approximately 2% of patients with sinusitis develop intracranial epidural abscess as a complication.[4]
Spinal Epidural Abscess
Spinal epidural abscess is the most common type of epidural abscess. Prevalence is greatest between the fifth and seventh decades of life, with a male predominance.[3][5] Spinal epidural abscess is rare, accounting for 2.5 to 3 cases per 10,000 hospital admissions per year.[1] The mortality rate of spinal epidural abscess has not changed significantly over the last 25 years, remaining at <5%.[6][7]
