A rare presentation of a paediatric patient with acute otomastoiditis media caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis resulting in intracranial complications

Mastoiditis caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) has an extremely low incidence in paediatric patients and intracranial complications are even rarer. We report the case of a 2-year-old Caucasian male who presented to a tertiary ENT centre with a left sided mastoid swelling and drowsiness after...

description Mastoiditis caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) has an extremely low incidence in paediatric patients and intracranial complications are even rarer. We report the case of a 2-year-old Caucasian male who presented to a tertiary ENT centre with a left sided mastoid swelling and drowsiness after having been treated unsuccessfully for unresolving ear pain and discharge for 6 weeks. He was subsequently found to have mastoiditis with intracranial complications caused by mycobacterium TB. This report aims to increase awareness of TB as a potential cause of chronic unresolving ear pain in the paediatric age group, as well as the importance of multidisciplinary team management.
