Unusual presentation of bilateral tuberculous otomastoiditis with tuberculous spondylitis in a 14-year-old child: A case report.

Tuberculous otomastoiditis, a rare manifestation of tuberculosis in the head and neck region, poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its non-specific clinical features and potential debilitating complications. While typically arising from direct spread from adjacent organs, the coexistence of tuberculous otomastoiditis and cervical spondylitis is rarely reported. We present the case of a 14-year-old male with a 3-month history of painless bilateral ear discharge resistant to antibiotic therapy.

Clinical and intraoperative findings for dangerous chronic suppurative otitis media in paediatric cases.

The number of complications in dangerous Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) remain high, especially in late presentation. Extensive disease with intratemporal and intracranial complications, especially in children, was commonly found in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (CMGH), a tertiary referral hospital. This was a retrospective study that used secondary data from 2017 to 2019 in CMGH.
