OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the demographics, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of @entity50 in a pediatric population, and to propose a new treatment algorithm. METHODS: Retrospective review of seven @entity1 . RESULTS: @entity1 averaged 7.4 years of age. They commonly presented with @entity10 and @entity7867 (seven of seven @entity1 ), and @entity390 and @entity391 (six of seven @entity1 ). All @entity1 had abnormal otoscopy, and four of seven @entity1 had a @entity2896 , but fever was not always present (only three of seven @entity1 ). All @entity1 underwent MRI with venography (MRV) for diagnosis. All @entity1 were admitted to the hospital (average length of stay 8 days) and treated with antibiotics (six of seven @entity1 with i.v. @entity2756 ). Five of seven were treated with simple mastoidectomy and concurrent @entity2172 ; two @entity1 received only medical treatment. The average follow up was 114 months (range 33-387 months). Two @entity1 had long-term sequela: one had persistent mild lateral gaze @entity892 and another had unilateral moderate to severe high frequency @entity1274 . Six of seven @entity1 had follow up imaging (average 15 months, range 1-40 months). Four of six @entity1 showed recanalization of the lateral sinus on repeat imaging. Based on the current experience in the modern era of MRV and broad-spectrum antibiotics, a new treatment algorithm is proposed. CONCLUSIONS: @entity50 is an uncommon cranial complication of @entity2346 media. The advent of non-invasive diagnosis and effective broad-spectrum antibiotics has drastically decreased the mortality and altered the diagnostic and treatment paradigm.
