Abstract
Epidural abscesses of the spine generally arise from staphylococcal infections that by hematologic spread or direct invasion affect the integrity of the vertebral column or meningeal coverings of the spinal cord. A case comparison approach highlights goal-oriented nursing interventions which assist the patient in the adaptation to and recovery from this unique central nervous system infection.Keywords
