    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous mastoiditis is an uncommon but serious complication of tuberculosis affecting the middle ear and mastoid.
    • It can present with varied symptoms and may lead to significant morbidity, including facial nerve palsy and intracranial spread.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a series of tuberculous mastoiditis cases.
    • To analyze clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, treatment outcomes, and complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 23 cases of tuberculous mastoiditis.
    • Analysis of diagnostic approaches including culture and biopsy.
    • Evaluation of surgical interventions and response to antituberculous therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-three cases were identified, with 9 experiencing facial palsy and 2 developing meningitis.
    • Surgery was performed in 16 patients.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via culture or biopsy in 8 cases.
    • 22 out of 23 patients showed a satisfactory response to antituberculous treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Tuberculous mastoiditis necessitates a high index of suspicion, especially in endemic areas.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate antituberculous treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • While complications like facial palsy and meningitis can occur, effective management leads to good results in most patients.
