Abstract

Background and aims: Brain abscess as a complication of ear infections has decreased in frequency. By contrast, brain abscess arising from a sinus infection remains an important consideration in both adults and children. Here we present 6 cases with brain abscess due to otogenic or sinogenic complications. Methods: Data of children hospitalized with intracranial abscess between January 2013 and May 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, and prognosis were identified Results: Among 8 children with intracranial abscess 6 had otogenic and/or sinogenic infection. The most frequent symptom was the headache. The intracranial abscess was epidural in 3 cases and parenchymal in 3 cases. Causative pathogens were Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Propionibacterium acnes with Provotella loescheii. All children received antibiotics and surgical drainage. Neurological sequelae and death did not occur Conclusion: Despite the increased use of antibiotics, sinüsitis and otitis media is an important predisposing factor for brain abcess.

Özet

Amaç: Otitin komplikasyonu olarak beyin absesi sıklığı azalmışıtır. Sinüzitten kaynaklanan beyin absesi ise hem yetişkinlerde hem çocuklarda önemli bir yer teşkil etmektedir. Bu çalışmada otojenik ve sinojenik kaynaklı 6 beyin absesi vakası sunuyoruz.Gereç ve yöntem: Ocak 2013 ile Mayıs 2017 tarihleri arasında intrakraniyal abse ile yatırılan çocukların verileri geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Önceden belirleyici faktörler, klinik bulgular ve prognoz belirlendi.Bulgular: İntrakraniyal abse bulunan 8 çocuk arasında 6’sı otogenik ve / veya sinogenik enfeksiyona sahipti. En sık görülen semptom baş ağrısıydı. İntrakraniyal abse 3 olguda epidural, 3 olguda parankimaldi. Etken patojenler olarak Streptokok intermedius, Streptococcus pyogenes, Provotella ile Propionibacterium acnes tespit edildi. Tüm çocuklara antibiyoterapi ve cerrahi drenaj uygulandı. Nörolojik sekel ve ölüm gerçekleşmedi. Sonuç: Sinüzit ve otitis media; antibiyotik kullanımının artmasına rağmen, beyin abseleri için hala önemli birer predispozan faktördür.
