  • Title: Brain abscess secondary to otitis media.
    Author: Bradley PJ, Manning KP, Shaw MD.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1984 Dec; 98(12):1185-91. PubMed ID: 6512390.
    Abstract:
    Otogenic brain abscess still occurs despite advances in antibiotics. The possible diagnosis should be disproved rather than ignored in any patient who presents with a discharging ear and who has any intracranial symptoms. Otogenic brain abscess carries a 47.2 per cent risk of a fatal outcome and those patients who survive have a 95 per cent risk of developing epilepsy.
