This report details two cases of rare bilateral otogenic cerebellar abscesses. Prompt diagnosis via imaging and surgical intervention with antibiotics led to successful treatment.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Neurology
Infectious Disease

Background:

Otogenic cerebellar abscesses are uncommon infections.
Bilateral presentations are particularly rare, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

Two patients presented with a history of ear discharge (otorrhoea), fever, headache, and vomiting.
Both patients exhibited bilateral cerebellar signs and conductive hearing loss.

Findings:

Computerised tomography (CT) confirmed bilateral cerebellar abscesses.
X-rays revealed associated bilateral mastoiditis.

Implications:

Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing otogenic cerebellar abscesses.
