摘要：
Epidural abscess is considered one of the most common intracranial infections. We report a pediatric patient with chronic hematopoiesis and thick double periosteal layers who developed an epidural pus collection after epidural hematoma evacuation. This article highlights the importance of detecting complications from epidural hematoma evacuation, including intracranial abscess and pus formation. Therefore, it is crucial to treat such cases meticulously.
