Radiology, 1974
Intracranial epidural abscess, almost always a complication of frontal sinusitis, mastoiditis, or craniotomy, often remains unsuspected until angiography or surgery. Four cases arc presented which stress the roentgen features of intracranial epidural abscess.

Neurology, 1987
We present 3 new cases of cervical epidural abscess (CEA), a rare condition, along with a review of 12 other case reports. The average patient age was 45 years; just over half were male. The abscesses usually involved the mid to lower cervical region and extended an average of three to four segments.

Epidural abscess complicating epidural anesthesia and analgesia: An analysis of the literature
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1998 BACKGROUND Epidural abscess is a serious complication of epidural block. Because of its low incidence, the risk factors and the symptoms and cause of epidural abscess related to epidural anesthesia and analgesia are not well known by anesthesiologists.

We present three cases of spinal epidural abscess. Initial presentation of localized spinal pain and tenderness along with fever should lead one to suspect the diagnosis. An emergency myelography and prompt treatment with appropriate antibiotics is necessary to prevent catastrophic neurologic deficit.

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2014
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) remains a relatively infrequent diagnosis. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common organism identified, and the infectious source in SEA emanates from skin and soft tissue infections in about 20 % of instances. The thoracic spine is most often involved followed by the lumbar spine. The classic triad of fever, spinal pain,

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1994
Twenty-one cases of thoracic spinal epidural abscess occurring over a 10-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Diagnosis was made by MRI or myelography and confirmed in the operative cases. A bacterial agent was isolated in 18 of the cases (86%). When measured, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was elevated in all cases.

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2013
Spinal epidural abscess is a rare bacterial infection located within the spinal canal. Early diagnosis and rapid treatment are important because of its potential to cause rapidly progressive spinal cord compression and irreversible paralysis. A staphylococcus bacterial infection is the cause in most cases.

Neurosurgical Review, 1990
Fifteen cases of peridural empyemas are reported. 12 patients reported with motor dysfunction of the lower extremities and pain radiating from the spine. In one case, localized pain of the spine was discovered and in two cases there were no signs of spinal or radiating pain. Treatment in all cases was laminectomy and systemic antibiotic administration.

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2011
AbstractWe report the case of a 16‐day‐old neonate who presented with fever and irritability. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples collected on his admission grew methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus on culture, prompting an urgent search for parameningeal collections or an occult sinus involving the central nervous system.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1975
Thirty-nine patients with spinal epidural abscess were evaluated at the Massachusetts General Hospital between 1947 and 1974. Twenty had acute symptoms, and purulent epidural collections were present; 19 had prolonged courses, and epidural granulation tissue was observed at operation.
