Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nowadays, despite great advances in the treatment of all forms of infectious otitis media, otogenic complications still occur. Of all forms, complications in the central nervous system from otitis media represent the most life-threatening conditions, requiring immediate diagnosis and precise therapeutic intervention. Subdural empyema is a rare intracranial complication after otogenic procedures. We have experienced a case of otogenic subdural empyema that progressed to a cerebellar abscess after a radical mastoidectomy which was performed without drainage of the subdural empyema. We present this case with a review of the relevant literature.
