Description

Diagnosis and management of complicated mastoiditis in adolescence is still controversial. We investigated clinical manifestations, evaluation, and management of a child with mastoiditis complicated with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Signs and symptoms are often atypical due to previous antibiotic treatment, and severe clinically "silent" intracranial complications may initially go unnoticed. We present the clinical presentation and management of an adolescent male with mastoiditis complicated with venous sinus thrombosis.
