A Case of Tuberculous Petrositis
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Tuberculous petrositis is a very rare disease. It is thought to be developed by a spread of tuberculous infection from the middle ear or pneumatized air cells of mastoid. We report a patient with tuberculous petrositis who complained persistent
headache
after previous tympanomastoid surgery. The classic symptoms of petrositis(Gradenigo's syndrome) were absent, but the diagnosis of petrositis was made with CT, MRI and Ga-67 citrate scan. Revision surgery including infracochlear drainage of the
petrous
apex was performed, and the pathologic report revealed a tuberculous infection.
