    Abstract:
    Complications due to acute otitis media are still a cause of hospitalization on paediatric population. We have revised the cases that have been diagnosed in our hospital in a period of 10 years. There were 12 patients between 1 and 38 years of age. The most frequent complication was acute mastoiditis, with a total of 9 patients. The most frecuent symptom was fever and retroauricular edema. We analysed variables such as age, sex, main symptom, physical exploration, extrahospitalary treatment, laboratory and radiological findings, complications, hospital treatment, (medical and/or surgical and kind of operation) and mean hospitalary stay.
