Summary
Recurrent meningitis in a child with cochlear dysplasia was treated surgically. A modified technique for the left ear, avoiding stapedectomy, prevented cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and complications.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Neurosurgery
- Pediatric Neurology
Background:
- Meningitis can be the primary indicator of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula originating from the temporal bone.
- Recurrent meningitis in pediatric patients necessitates thorough investigation for underlying causes, including congenital abnormalities.
