Abstract:
A 36-year-old lady presented to our casualty with septic shock. She had four days history of fever, scalp swelling and poor oral intake. From the clinical findings, she was diagnosed left mastoiditis secondary to left ear foreign body complicated with extensive scalp and left deep neck abscesses. Computed tomography scans also showed left lateral skull base osteomyelitis changes. She was stabilized with inotrope infusion and fluids resuscitation. She was subjected to Intravenous (IV) antibiotics, abscesses drainage and regular ear cleaning. Mastoidectomy was performed later as she was refractory to the initial treatment. Conservative management as a first line treatment can reduce mastoidectomy related complications. However, mastoidectomy should be reserved for refractory cases and patients with associated cholesteatoma or intracranial complications. The purpose of the article is to discuss the uncommon presentation and on the mastoidectomy treatment for this case with its related literature review.
