Abstract

Twenty-three cases of tuberculous mastoiditis are presented, nine of which were complicated by facial palsy. Six presented with acute mastoiditis, and two had meningitis. Surgery was required in 16 patients; in four cases the diagnosis was made by culture and in another four by biopsy of the granulations or polyp of the external canal. The response to antituberculous treatment was satisfactory in 22 cases. One patient, whose case was complicated by meningitis, died.
