Abstract

With the advances in antibiotic treatment, brain abscesses are very uncommon in developed countries. However, in countries with low socio-economic level brain abcess are more common and this is the most serious life-threatening complication of otologic diseases. In this article, we discussed a case with cerebellar abcess caused by middle ear cholesteatoma and ongoing with progressive neurological deficits and disorder of general situation.

Özet

Antibiyotik tedavisinin gelişmesiyle birlikte beyin abseleri gelişmiş ülkelerde çok nadir görülmektedir. Ancak sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi düşük olan ülkelerde beyin abseleri daha sıktır ve bunlar otolojik hastalıkların hayatı tehdit eden en ciddi komplikasyonları olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu yazıda orta kulakta kolesteatomaya bağlı gelişen ve ilerleyici nörolojik defisit ve genel durum bozukluğuyla devam eden serebellar abse olgusunu tartıştık.
