Three categories on an anatomic basis ◼ Extratemporal extracranial ◼ Bezold abscess ◼ Subperiosteal abscess ◼ Intratemporal ◼ Mastoiditis, labyrinthitis, sensorineural hearing loss, petrositis ◼ Facial paralysis, cholesteatoma, labyrinthine fistula ◼ Intracranial ◼ Epidural abscess, lateral sinus thrombosis, otitic hydrocephalus, ◼ meningitis, brain abscess, subdural abscess
Causes Hyper-function of immune system Infant older Strong bacteria Damaged structures cholesteatoma Unreasonable interventions Drug resistant Poor drainage
Causes ◼ Hyper-function of immune system ◼ Infant, older ◼ Strong bacteria ◼ Damaged structures ◼ cholesteatoma ◼ Unreasonable interventions ◼ Drug resistant, ◼ Poor drainage
Transmission course Pathways of spread Direct extension of infection to structure (bone erosion) Hemogenous routine (microbiologic an host factors Bacteria gain access to intracranial through unsealed gap, inner ear

Bezold abscess Definition Erosion the tip of the mastoid bone Infects the soft tissue of the neck, Deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle Diagnosis Ear infection Mass in the neck Fever neck stiff, otorrhea CT scan
Bezold abscess ◼ Definition: ◼ Erosion the tip of the mastoid bone ◼ Infects the soft tissue of the neck, ◼ Deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle ◼ Diagnosis ◼ Ear infection ◼ Mass in the neck ◼ Fever, neck stiff, otorrhea ◼ CT scan
Bezold abscess Treatment Antibiotic Abscess cavity should be evacuated 口 An external drainage should be placed Mastoidectomy Antrum drainage required LSC via epitympanum to the middle ear MF
Bezold abscess ◼ Treatment ◼ Antibiotic ◼ Abscess cavity should be evacuated ◼ An external drainage should be placed ◼ Mastoidectomy ◼ Antrum drainage required, via epitympanum to the middle ear
Supperiosteal abscess Definition Bone erosion, via osteitis or necrosis leads to a dehiscence into the postauricular soft tissue DiagnoSIs Fever, pain and otorrhea Followed by appearance of the postauricular mass, displacing the auricle anteriorly CT scan
Supperiosteal abscess ◼ Definition: Bone erosion, via osteitis or necrosis, leads to a dehiscence into the postauricular soft tissue. ◼ Diagnosis ◼ Fever, pain and otorrhea ◼ Followed by appearance of the postauricular mass, displacing the auricle anteriorly ◼ CT scan
Supperiosteal abscess Managements Antibiotic a Drainage, using postauriclar incision After achieving effective drainage of the mastoid infection, the site of suppuration can be addressed Necrotic tissues require debridement
