Extradural abscess
Clinical features
•Massive purulent discharge and pulsation of the pus due to
cerebral vessels pulsation
•Fever, variable general state
•The main symptom: headache, mostly presented at night,
irradiation depends on abscess localization (occipital, frontal or
postauricular) https://studfiles.net/preview/1225386/
nystagmus, dizziness
•The involvement of the temporal bone apex is accompanished
by abducens nerve palsy (VI), and, as consequence, diplopia
and strabismus

•Positive Kernig’s sign
•Positive Brudzinsky’s sign
•Forced position of a patient
Clinical features

•Intensive severe headache, localized at the temporo-occipital area
•Painfull palpation of mastoid process and vena jugularis
•Swinging pyrexia —up to 40 °C, rigors
