OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the frequency and management of complications of @entity102 media (CSOM). @entity1 AND METHODS: Out of 376 @entity1 with CSOM, 44 @entity1 (25 males, 19 females; mean age 48.5  3.5 years; range 21 to 76 years) meeting study criteria were enrolled in this descriptive cross sectional study which was conducted at the Department of Ear Nose and Throat, Head and Neck Surgery, Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. All newly diagnosed @entity1 having CSOM with complications were enrolled. The complications were treated first. Intracranial abscesses were evacuated by neurosurgeons. Radical and modified radical mastoidectomy were performed. RESULTS: Majority of the @entity1 presented in the second and third decade of life (21-30 years: 27.27%, 31-40 years: 18.18%). Most of the @entity1 (59.1%) had lower socioeconomic status. Canal wall down mastoidectomy was the most common (79.5%) procedure performed. @entity3540 was the most common operative finding (100%). Among @entity85 , @entity733 was the most common finding (38.63%), while extradural abscess outnumbered (22.72%) in @entity1504 . CONCLUSION: Complications of CSOM commonly affect younger @entity1 with low socioeconomic status. Collaborating with neurosurgeons may assist in the successful management of this infection.
