Bilateral frontal epidural abscess

Abstract: Conclusión. Los abscesos epidurales constituyen el 5-25% de todas las infecciones intracraneales localizadas. La colonización del microorganismo se puede producir por contigüidad, por vía hematógena, por traumatismo craneal abierto o a consecuencia de una intervención quirúrgica. La sinusitis es una de las causas más relevantes de los abscesos epidurales, sobre todo en la región frontal. La aparición bilateral es rara. En este trabajo, se presenta un caso de absceso epidural bilateral y se revisan los criterio… Show more

“…Intracranial epidural abscesses (IEA) are an uncommon, but potentially life-threatening condition, requiring accurate diagnosis and therapeutic management. The diagnosis of a brain abscess is often unsuspected because of vague and non-specific symptoms and presentation without overt neurological impairments [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] . The etiology of the brain abscess can be contiguous with the source of infection, likely secondary to a primary source (middle ear, mastoid cells, or paranasal sinuses in 25%-50% of cases), hematogenous dissemination (20%-35% of cases), or trauma, which can incorporate obvious damage to the brain and surrounding structures, or arise as a complication of a neurosurgical procedure [2,8] .…”
