G06: Intracranial and intraspinal abscess and granuloma
G06.2: Extradural and subdural abscess, unspecified
The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal column. The spinal cord is located in the spinal column. The spinal cord is made up of nerve fibers. The brain uses the nerve fibers to exchange information with the organs, skin and muscles.
A pus-filled cavity has formed in your central nervous system area. Cavities like these are caused by inflammations.
Cavities like these can press on surrounding brain tissue or the spinal column. This can result in various symptoms such as headaches or back pain. As a result, the function of parts of the brain or the spinal column may also become impaired.
