Until the Sulfonamides began to be used for acute otitis media in 1935 and Penicillin was introduced in 1942. The otogenic complication was main problem in the ENT field. Thereafter, the incidence of acute otitis media and otogenic complication decreased abruptly.
The recent development of chemotherapy and antibiotic therapy has resulted in the decreased frequency of the intracranial complication due LO otitis media but recently inappropriate and inadequate therapy of these agents and the appearance of resistant strains of bacteria to the antibiotics has been altered the clinical symptom and course. So, early proper diagnosis and adequate treatment of the otogenic complication occasion-ally has been difficult problem.
