    Acute mastoiditis can lead to severe intracranial sepsis, particularly in children and young adults. Prompt antibiotic treatment and advanced imaging have improved outcomes for these serious infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Acute mastoiditis is a serious infection that can extend beyond the mastoid bone.
    • Intracranial complications, including meningitis and brain abscess, are significant risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the incidence and outcomes of acute mastoiditis with intracranial complications.
    • To analyze the types of intracranial complications and associated mortality rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 335 cases of acute mastoiditis with complications.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, complication types, and mortality data.

    Main Results:

    • 224 cases (67%) presented with intracranial sepsis.

  • Meningitis (37%) was most common; brain abscess had highest mortality (36%).
  • Overall mortality rate was 14%, reduced compared to historical data.

    • Conclusions:

    • Neglected otitis media is a frequent precursor to these severe complications.
    • Antibiotics, CT scans, and multidisciplinary surgical collaboration have improved patient outcomes.
