Entry term(s) absceso epidural espinal
absceso extradural
Scope note: Colecciones circunscritas de material de supuración que se producen en el ESPACIO EPIDURAL espinal o intracraneal. La mayoría de los abcesos epidurales se encuentran en el canal espinal y se asocian a OSTEOMIELITIS de un cuerpo vertebral, ANALGESIA EPIDURAL y otras enfermedades. Clínicamente se manifiesta por dolor local y radicular, debilidad, pérdida sensorial, INCONTINENCIA URINARIA e INCONTINENCIA FECAL. Los abcesos epidurales craneales suelen asociarse a OSTEOMIELITIS de un hueso craneal, SINUSITIS u OTITIS MEDIA.

Scope note: Circumscribed collections of suppurative material occurring in the spinal or intracranial EPIDURAL SPACE. The majority of epidural abscesses occur in the spinal canal and are associated with OSTEOMYELITIS of a vertebral body; ANALGESIA, EPIDURAL; and other conditions. Clinical manifestations include local and radicular pain, weakness, sensory loss, URINARY INCONTINENCE, and FECAL INCONTINENCE. Cranial epidural abscesses are usually associated with OSTEOMYELITIS of a cranial bone, SINUSITIS, or OTITIS MEDIA.
