Paediatric Mastoid Subperiosteal Abscess: Diagnostic and Treatment Essentials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mastoid subperiosteal abscess (SA) is the most common complication of acute mastoiditis. Today, no uniformly accepted diagnostic or treatment protocols exist. Imaging studies for all patients and mastoidectomy plus myringotomy, traditionally constitute the gold-standard of treatment methods. However, more conservative approaches viewed as safe and reliable alternative options for the clinician have recently gained popularity. In this review authors try to answer some vital questions regarding the diagnosis and management of SA in children, based on the relevant literature and their personal experience.
