  • Title: Aspergillus mastoiditis with intact tympanic membrane in immunocompetent host.
    Author: Mani R, Belcadhi M, Ben Said M, Bouzouita K.
    Journal: B-ENT; 2008; 4(1):39-43. PubMed ID: 18500021.
    Abstract:
    Aspergillus mastoiditis is a very rare condition usually observed in immunocompromised patients. Masked mastoiditis is defined as a subclinical infectious inflammatory process of the mucosal lining and bony structures of the mastoid air cells with intact tympanic membranes. To our knowledge, our report of a masked Aspergillus mastoiditis occurring in a 71-year-old diabetic woman is only the second case of masked mastoiditis in the literature. Aggressive medical and surgical management are necessary to avoid a fatal outcome from this invasive infection.
