INTRODUCTION
Otogenic intracranial abscesses are an uncommon but life-threatening complication of otitis media
This study is to recognizing this complication as well as provide some
information about the disease process and management.

MANAGEMENT
all the 3 patients were managed with
3wks IV antibiotics
Followed by excision & drainage of brain abscess. by craniotomies/burr hole drainage.

• MODIFIED RADICAL MASTOIDECTOMY.
• 3 pts were tolerated the procedure well, no mortality were recorded
• . No pt reported with recurrence of intra cranial complications

OTOGENIC BRAIN ABSCESS
DEFINITION : Brain abscess is a focal suppurative process within the brain
parenchyma surrounded by a region of Inflammation
![Page 25: Case series otogenic brain abcess](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/58eda24a1a28abe2758b4653/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
OTOGENIC BRAIN ABSCESS
50-75 % adult brain abscess & 25% in child is otogenic.
Temporal abscess is twice as common as cerebellar abscess
Mortality associated with otogenic brain is around 25%.in preantibiotic
era
ROUTES OF INFECTION:
1.Direct spread:
via Tegmen plate: Temporal abscess via Trautmann’s triangle: Cerebellar abscess
2. Retrograde spread: via thrombophlebitis•
![Page 26: Case series otogenic brain abcess](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/58eda24a1a28abe2758b4653/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
sometimes the infection could extend via the Virchow -Robin spaces in to the cerebral white matter.
Trautmann's triangle. It is Pathway to posterior cranial fossa from mastoid cavity

CLINICAL FEATURES• Patient looks very toxic & drowsy.• Deep boring headache with projectile vomiting• Foul-smelling creamy otorrhea indicates a
fulminant destructive process.TRIAD OF BRAIN ABSCESS:
Headache.
High grade fever
Symptoms due to focal neurological deficits
![Page 30: Case series otogenic brain abcess](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/58eda24a1a28abe2758b4653/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
CONCLUSION
Diagnosis should be considered in all such patients presenting with a ear discharge, headache, fever, seizures and confusion, especially after failing conservative treatment
OBA remains a life-threatening condition requires prolonged systemic antimicrobial therapy surgical intervention.
It is recommended to evaluate such cases by imaging to rule
out brain abscess ,to reduce mortality & morbidity.
