소아에서 발생한 급성 결핵성 유양돌기염 1례 = A Case of Acute Tuberculous Mastoiditis in a Child

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Tuberculous otitis media is a slowly progressive disease but rarely encountered in fulminant course. Diagnosis is difficult since most physicians are unfamiliar with the typical presenting features: in addition, special culture. pathologic study and PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction) are required for dignosis. Persistent otorrhea that is unresponsive to conventional treatment; abundant granulation tissue; facial nerve palsy in infants and children; necrosis of the bone or sequestrum formation without cholesteatoma, should alert the physician to this entity.
The following case report and review of the literature are offered in hope of alerting physicians to the occurence of this disease and to the circumstances in which the diagnosis should be actively excluded.
