Overview
Epidural abscess may be classified into 2 subtypes depending on the location of the abscess: intracranial and spinal[1].
Classification
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 bony vertebral canal. [3]
