Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Infectious Disease

Background:

  • Epidural abscesses are collections of pus between the dura mater and the skull.
  • Obstruction of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) can lead to severe neurological complications.
  • Occipital epidural abscesses are rare but can cause significant intracranial pressure and venous sinus compromise.
