Abstract

Background and Objectives: Bacterial meningitis and other cerebral infections are associated with high rate of mortality and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate kinds of bacterial otologic diseases that cause INTRACRANIAL INFECTIONs in adults and advise the best ways of treatment with least mortality, morbidity and complications.Materials and Methods: One hundred adult patients with otogenic INTRACRANIAL INFECTIONs were studied in about 17 years (1983 to 2000). Forty one patients had acute OTITIS media, 37 suffered with chronic OTITIS media (20 cholesteatoma) and 22 had otorrhea.Results: Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common cause of meningitis with acute OTITIS media (69%) and otorrhea (50%), whereas other bacteria like Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and anaerobes were found in chronic OTITIS , and in 25% of the cases cultures were negative. Thirty two patients underwent mastoidectomy, 10 were operated for different intracranial abscesses, while 5 patients died.Conclusion: We found that rapid diagnosis of otogenic bacterial meningitis is essential for antimicrobial treatment. In patients with chronic OTITIS media, effective antibiotics on gram negative bacilli and anaerobes should be used. Surgical procedure is required in patients whose neurological infections fail to improve under antibiotic treatment and all patients with brain abscess must be operated.
