The silent epidural abscess as a complication of acute otitis media in children.
International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology 1998 October 3
Acute otitis media with complications is a persistent problem in the modern antibiotic era with a relatively high mortality rate. Acute mastoiditis is a serious complication of acute otitis media with potentially grave consequences and the epidural abscess constitutes the commonest of all intracranial complications, arising from middle ear infections. We report two cases of children with acute mastoiditis without evidence of intracranial complication or subperiosteal abscess, in whom the early evaluation with computed tomography (CT) disclosed an unsuspected epidural abscess. Therefore, we stress the use of CT as a rule of thumb for every child with acute mastoiditis.
