text: In general, epidural abscess is rare. Intracranial epidural abscess is the more rare type of epidural abscess and the 3rd most common focal intracranial infection. Spinal epidural abscess is more common than intracranial epidural abscess, however it is still rare in the general population, accounting for 2.5 to 3 cases per 10,000 hospital admissions per year. Estimates of the incidence following central nerve block vary from 1 per 1,000 hospital admissions to 1 per 100,000 hospital admissions. Prevalence of epidural abscess is greatest between the fifth and seventh decades of life.
