Purpose:
To describe the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a patient with Gradenigo syndrome.
Methods:
A 4 1/2-year-old boy developed Gradenigo syndrome with unilateral facial pain, ophthalmoplegia, and facial weakness secondary to ipsilateral otitis media. The clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings are discussed.
Results:
The patient was treated with antibiotics and had complete resolution of symptoms and signs.
Conclusion:
Ophthalmologists should be aware of the potential for petrosal involvement of cranial nerves secondary to otitis media and Gradenigo syndrome.
