Article Synopsis
- The study investigated recurrent acute mastoiditis in children through a review of 73 patient charts from 2001 to 2016, focusing on bacterial causes, treatment methods, and complications.
- Out of the children studied, 8% experienced recurrent cases, with a strong association found between previous ear infections and recurrent mastoiditis.
- The findings suggest that more aggressive surgical techniques during treatment might prevent future episodes of acute mastoiditis.
