High Prevalence

The availability of effective antibiotic therapy has tremendously reduced the incidence of otogenic lateral sinus thrombosis (OLST) and changed its clinical presentation to a subtle one. The nature of predisposing otogenic disease has also changed from acute otitis media to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). The prevalence of CSOM is still high in low-income economies. With such a high prevalence of CSOM, a good clinical acumen is required to identify and manage OLST. We present a case of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) complicated by OLST.

AbstractA case of bilateral mastoiditis with subperiosteal abscesses complicating acute otitis media in a two and a half year old girl is presented. Contrast enhanced computerized tomography confirmed the diagnosis of right lateral sinus thrombosis. The aetiology, diagnosis and management of these conditions are discussed.

Subdural Abscess

Neurological complications of acute mastoiditis are rare but can be life threatening. Their presentation may be masked by the use of antibiotics. We present a unique case of acute otitis media progressing to occipital, extradural and subdural abscess formation and lateral sinus thrombosis in a child. The clinical course and management of a pre-adolescent male is presented and discussed. We review the incidence, presentation and treatment of occipital abscesses and lateral sinus thrombosis with acute mastoiditis. Following extended cortical mastoidectomy, neck exploration and broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics, the patient made a full recovery. This is the first reported case of acute mastoiditis associated with occipital abscess in a child. Early, aggressive treatment is required for a successful outcome. The rarity of neurological complications, in addition to the insidious onset and subtle symptoms associated with antibiotic therapy, can make diagnosis extremely difficult. Patients with acute otitis media who fail to respond fully to treatment should be referred early for a specialist otology opinion.

AbstractThe incidence of both lateral and cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis has been significantly reduced in the antibiotic era. Since septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is mainly a complication of facial abscesses and septic lateral sinus thrombosis (LST) is almost invariably due to chronic otitis media, both conditions are of clinical relevance to the otolaryngologist.The predominant bacterium in septic CST isStaphylococcus aureuswhereas in septic LST the bacteriology is very similar to that found in chronic otitis media. The diagnosis of septic CST can be established in most cases after thorough clinical examination, and contrast computerized tomography (CT) using the coronal projection usually confirms the clinical diagnosis. The signs and clinical course of septic LST are non-specific and the final diagnosis rests upon radiological investigations including CT-scan. The treatment of both conditions consists of broad-spectrum antibiotics, including beta-lactamase resistant penicillin in cases of septic CST. Most cases of septic LST also require surgical intervention.Two cases oi septic intracranial sinus tiuombosis ate presented. The need for early diagnosis and treatment of this potentially lethal condition is emphasized.
