Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To share our experience about otogenic brain abscess and to provide information about diagnosis and treatment of otogenic brain abscess (OBA). MATERIALS & METHODS: Eight patients with an average age of 20.62years (range of 8 to 51 years) were diagnosed with OBA. All patients had cholesteatoma except one. Six had cerebral and 2 had cerebellar abscess. All underwent medical & surgical treatment. No mortality was reported in our study with the mean follow up period of 11 months. CONCLUSION: OBA is a life threatening condition, which requires early diagnosis and aggressive treatment. Combined approach by ENT surgeon and neurosurgeon reduces morbidity and mortality to a great extent.
