  • Title: [Actual problem of meningitis and other intracranial complications in cases of otitis media and sinusitis in children].
    Author: Zieliński R, Zakrzewska A.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Pol; 2012; 66(3):227-31. PubMed ID: 22748686.
    Abstract:
    The most frequent primary infections causing purulent meningitis in older children are both acute and chronic otitis media and sinusitis or upper and lower airways infections. In these cases sometimes purulent meningitis is accompanied with other intracranial complications. Pharmacological treatment of intracranial complications without surgical intervention concerning primary source of infection increases risk of complications including death of a patient and also recurrences of bacterial meningitis. In the paper authors present two uncommon cases of children with purulent meningitis and other intracranial complications of otitis media and sinusitis diagnosed by pediatricians.
