Abstract

Today, the relevance of the problem of ENT-associated inflammatory intracranial complications in children is out of the question, because despite the introduction of new diagnostic technologies, the increased possibilities of conservative medicine and the improvement of surgical treatment methods, the rates of hospital mortality and disability of children do not tend to decrease. It is primarily due to the lack of a uniform algorithm of early diagnosis and hospitalization of the patient, recommendations for treatment of this pathology, namely: the optimal technique of surgical interventions, the tactics of intensive treatment of patients, the methods of postoperative rehabilitation of this category of patients. All these factors testify of the absence of a unified concept of an interdisciplinary approach to the patients with ENT-associated intracranial complications at all the stages of care provision. The article presents a clinical case of otogenic meningoencephalitis, brain abscesses in a child as a result of acute suppurative otitis media. The authors present a plan of comprehensive examination and the tactics of surgical and conservative treatment of a patient.
