Overview
According to the location of the epidural abscess, its pathophysiology will differ, particularly in the origin of the infection but also in symptoms common causing organism, progression of the condition and therefore the treatment required. In the case of intracranial epidural abscess, it surges most frequently as a complication of sinusitis, particularly paranasal sinusitis, as the infection progresses intracranially.
