Epidural Abscess treatment in Monclova

An epidural abscess is a collection of pus in the space surrounding the spinal cord or the brain, usually from an infection, that can compress nerve structures.

Common symptoms: intense back or head pain, fever, weakness in the limbs and, in some cases, changes in bladder or bowel control.

When to see a doctor? This is a situation that requires prompt attention, especially if the pain is accompanied by fever and loss of strength.

Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon and the neurologist usually handle its management, with the support of the radiologist for imaging studies. With these signs, seek professional evaluation immediately.
