Introduction: Petrositis is a rare but severe complication of acute otitis media and mastoiditis. Despite efficient antibiotic therapy, there are still reports of both intratemporal and intracranial complications of otitis media with the potential risk of high morbidity and mortality. Petrositis has traditionally been treated with surgery, but recent advances in imaging, with improved antibioti...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Petrous apicitis (PA) is a rare complication of otitis media. Gradenigo syndrome, with the classic triad of otitis, deep pain, and abducens paralysis, is rarer still. The objective of this study was to determine if clinical presentation and management has changed over time. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Forty-four patients with PA over a 40-year peri...

A 58-year-old woman developed Gradenigo's syndrome. The clinical signs and symptoms of the otitis were rather atypical and there was a considerable delay before the correct diagnosis was made. The pathophysiology, therapy and differential diagnosis of this syndrome, which has become rare since the introduction of antibiotics, are discussed.

Otitis media (OM) is a common pathology in peadiatric cases. Serious and life threatening complications including petrositis, epidural abscess, subdural abscess, cerebral abscess and meningitis, may be seen with OM. However they become rarely seen nowadays due to the improvement of antimicrobial therapy. Beside this, they may be silent but with dangerous evolution . In 1904, Giuseppe Gradenigo ...
