- The study analyzed outcomes and complications related to different surgical techniques for treating serious complications of acute mastoiditis in pediatric patients.
- Among the 417 patients studied, 112 had severe intratemporal and intracranial complications, primarily subperiosteal abscesses, often treated with myringotomy and transtympanic drainage.
- Most patients had favorable outcomes with low rates of reoperation and complications, although some experienced issues like neurological sequelae and hearing loss, highlighting the importance of surgical technique depending on the severity of the condition.
