    Brain abscesses in children, particularly otogenic ones, present a significant clinical challenge. High mortality rates are linked to delayed diagnosis and impaired consciousness upon admission, underscoring the need for early detection.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Brain abscesses are serious infections in children.
    • Otogenic abscesses are a common subtype.
    • Treatment outcomes and challenges require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze treatment outcomes for pediatric brain abscesses.
    • To identify factors contributing to mortality and morbidity.
    • To highlight challenges in early detection and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 100 pediatric brain abscess cases treated over 6 years.
    • Review of treatment modalities including aspiration and antibiotics.
    • Correlation of admission status with outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 21%, with 76% of survivors recovering fully.
    • Epilepsy occurred as a sequel in 21% of cases.
    • High mortality was associated with impaired consciousness at admission.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric brain abscesses, especially otogenic, remain a significant clinical challenge.
    • Delayed diagnosis and severity of illness at presentation contribute to high mortality.
    • Early detection and prompt intervention are crucial for improving outcomes.
