Epiduralabscess

Svensk definition

Avgränsade ansamlingar av varig materia i ryggradens eller skallens epiduralrum. De allra flesta epiduralabscesser förekommer i ryggradskanalen och är förknippade med osteomyelit i någon kota, epiduralanalgesi eller andra tillstånd. Kliniska manifestationer är lokal och radikulär smärta, svaghet, känselbortfall, urin- och avföringsinkontinens. Epiduralabscesser i skallen har oftast samband med osteomyelit i något skallben, bihåleinflammation (sinuit) eller öroninflammation (otitis media).
