    Background:

    • Tuberculous otomastoiditis is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis affecting the ear and mastoid bone.
    • Literature review highlights its prevalence in infants and young children.

    Observation:

    • Three pediatric cases of tuberculous otomastoiditis are presented.
    • Analysis of thirteen reported cases since 1960 indicates a predilection for younger age groups.

    Findings:

    • Delayed diagnosis is common, leading to severe complications such as irreversible hearing loss and facial nerve paralysis.
    • All thirteen reported cases since 1960 achieved infection control through antituberculous medication and surgical drainage.

    Implications:
