Spontaneous evacuation of cerebellar abscess through the middle ear. A case report.

Abstract:

:Otogenic brain abscesses are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in developing countries. Usually they occur either by distant thrombophlebitis of cerebral veins or by direct extension in an unsafe type of chronic suppurative otitis media. This case of cerebellar abscess was prepared for surgical excision, when sudden evacuation of pus through the left middle ear resolved the abscess and clinical features in the patient. No surgical intervention was required in this patient. The case under discussion is unique and unreported for its spontaneous evacuation through the middle ear.
