Although uncommon, a young and immunocompetent person is not exceptional to develop SBO as in our case. We reported a case of SBO in a young, immunocompetent gentleman who presented with right otorrhea associated with fever, trismus, headache, and neck stiffness, which was unresponsive to oral and topical antibiotics.

Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in Morocco and most of the developing countries but tuberculous otomastoiditis is quite rare. Here we report a case where a seven-year-old patient had chronic right otomastoiditis and retro-auricular fistula, whose specificity is its persistence after prolonged unsuccessful medical and surgical therapy for more than 2 months, and its complication by homolateral sigmoid sinus thrombosis. Computed Tomography (CT) scan of temporal bones showed complete destruction of right mastoid cells and a hypodense complement in the right middle ear.

These infections present unique considerations because of their position relative to the respiratory tract and the central nervous system, as well as the propensity for biofilms to form on CIs. This article reviews infections related to CIs, including otitis media, mastoiditis, meningitis, and deep CI infection.
