Since antibiotics have played an important role in the management of otitis media and its complications, lack of familiarity among the present generation of physicians with otogenic intracranial complications (meningitis, brain abscess, extradural abscess, sinus thrombosis), once very common, can lead to late diagnosis and treatment. The intracranial complications have declined in the incidence, but still cause significant morbidity and mortality.
We experienced a case of mastoiditis and transverse sinus thrombosis as complications following acute otitis media, diagnosed by CT and brain MRI. We observed good clinical responses in this cases after treatment of intravenous antibiotics therapy and ventilating tube insertion. We report this case with brief review and related literatures. |
