Abstract
|
|
|
|
Epidural abscess is the most common intracranial complication of acute mastoiditis and may lead to a life-threatening condition if an appropriate treatment is not performed. The treatment of choice is a surgical eradication of lesion, drainage of the abscess, and intravenous antibiotic therapy. We report a case of acute mastoiditis followed by an epidural abscess in the posterior cranial fossa in a 32-month male patient.
