Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Department of ENT, Seth G.S. Medical College and KEM Hospital, Acharya Donde Marg, Parel, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400012 India.
Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health issue, with extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) accounting for 15-20% of cases; diagnosing it is difficult due to nonspecific symptoms, especially in at-risk groups.
- A case of a 25-year-old male with ear discharge and swelling led to imaging that revealed rare TB involvement in the parotid and mastoid regions, ultimately confirmed by microbiological testing showing Rifampicin-resistant mycobacteria.
- The study highlights the need for high suspicion of TB in unusual infections, the importance of advanced imaging for diagnosis, and the necessity for microbiological confirmation to ensure effective and timely treatment.

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.

Article Synopsis
- - A systematic review of literature from 2000 to 2020 analyzed 173 articles on aural tuberculosis, assessing clinical data and diagnostic methods used for patients across 49 countries.
