Abstract

Otitis media-associated complications are widespread when it is not treated with appropriate antimicrobial treatment. Meningitis and brain abscess are the most reported intracranial complications of otitis media, usually caused by the direct spread of organisms from the contagious site. While anaerobic microorganisms are well-known in brain abscesses, they are not common in meningitis. When the clinical history and pathogenesis of otitis mediaassociated meningitis are combined, special methods to identify and cover anaerobic pathogens should be considered.
