Abstract Unrecognized spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea led to recurrent bacterial meningitis in three children. The underlying cause of the spontaneous CSF otorrhea was proved to be a congenital cystic dilatation of the cochlear aqueduct and Mondini dysplasia of the temporal bone. The CSF leak recurred in all patients after an initial surgical attempt to close the defects through a tympanotomy. A suboccipital approach was used successfully to obliterate the CSF fistulas in two children; a translabyrinthine approach was used in the other. A search of the literature revealed that Mondini dysplasia is a congenital anomaly that can commonly cause spontaneous CSF otorrhea in children. The authors discuss the management of this uncommon entity on the basis of a literature review and their own experience.

This report presents a case of CSF otorrhea after head injury in a boy commencing after myringotomy. We believe it to be the first documented one in the Indonesian literature.

Acute bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency that warrants an early diagnosis and aggressive therapy. Despite the availability of potent newer antibiotics, the mortality caused by acute meningitis and its complication remains high in India, ranging from 16% to 32%. The aim of this case report is to present the isolation of Acinetobacter baumannii from cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) of an elderly male following trauma without any neurosurgical intervention and without any evident cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea or rhinorrhea. Keywords: CSF; Acinetobacter; Colistin; Intraventricular.
