Sixteen cases of acute mastoiditis were treated between 1980 and 1984. In infants the course of the mastoiditis was brief. An external retroauricular swelling soon occurred that was generally due to edema without abscess formation, and medical treatment resulted in rapid healing. For the older
In our opinion it is caused by incomplete awareness of the distribution of pathological process and the character of morphological changes in the patients. In this regard, we studied structural changes in the soft and bone tissue taken from various cavities of the middle ear system. Operating
During a 25-year period, 57 cases of acute mastoiditis occurred in infants and young children who ranged in age from 2 months to 12 years of age. All patients had abnormalities of the tympanic membrane and most had fever and localized edema and redness of the overlying skin. Fifty per cent of the
Cerebral venous thrombosis as a manifestation of paraneoplastic angitis and otitis media, revealing non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (NHBL), is extremely rare. A 57-year-old woman presented with headache, auditory disturbance and recalcitrant otitis media. Magnetic resonance imaging showed brain edema in
OBJECTIVE
The clinical picture of mastoiditis, sigmoid sinus thrombosis and brain abscess has changed with the advent of antibiotics. A delay in the recognition of intracranial complications in children and in the institution of appropriate therapy may result in morbidity and mortality. Increased
BACKGROUND
Brain abscess is a rare but serious, life-threatening infection in children. It may arise from parameningeal infections such as otitis media, sinusitis and mastoiditis.
METHODS
A ten-year-old boy with the diagnosis of glycogen-storage disease and obesity was admitted to the emergency room
Acute atypical mastoiditis, with temporal and/or facial edema, is called squamozygomatic mastoiditis. There are only a few reports of this occurrence in the literature, which occurs because of an inflammatory process spread to the zygommatic apophysis, when mastoid pneumatization reaches the zygoma
A review of 34 patients presenting with acute mastoiditis was undertaken. Prior treatment was noteworthy for lack of medical or surgical drainage at the time of initial otitis media. Typical findings, in hospital, included postauricular edema and tenderness, displaced auricle, and distorted tympanic
OBJECTIVE
To describe the epidemiologic, microbiologic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of acute mastoiditis (AM) in children <15 years of age during the 4-year period (2009-2012) following the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in Israel.
METHODS
The medical records of all children
BACKGROUND
Acute mastoiditis persists as a serious infection despite a dramatic decline in incidence coincident with the introduction of antibiotic therapy.
OBJECTIVE
To assist the contemporary practitioner in the recognition and management of acute mastoiditis through the assessment of a large
Infratentorial empyema is a life threatening condition and constitutes a neurosurgical emergency. Purulent mastoiditis and medial otitis is the most common origin and a thorough eradication of the purulent foci is mandatory. Decompression craniectomy has been primarily advised in the literature as
There is a traditional view that chronic otitis media and chronic mastoiditis must exist in the presence of a tympanic membrane perforation. Based on a human histopathological study of 123 temporal bones with chronic otitis media out of 333 temporal bones with all forms of otitis media pathology,
A 52-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of nausea, headache, ataxic gait, and memory disturbance. CT scans and MRI showed a markedly enhanced lesion in the dura mater of the posterior fossa, edema in the right cerebellar hemisphere, occlusion of the transverse sinus, and
Complications due to acute otitis media are still a cause of hospitalization on paediatric population. We have revised the cases that have been diagnosed in our hospital in a period of 10 years. There were 12 patients between 1 and 38 years of age. The most frequent complication was acute
BACKGROUND
Facial palsy can be a consequence of untreated chronic suppurative otitis media. This disease can last for many years manifesting as partial deafness and ear effusion resulting in palsy after spreading of pathological process in the surrounding cranial structures. The patient with facial
