Abstract
- The use of antibiotics in suppurative otitis media has greatly diminished the incidence of its complications. However, incomplete antibiotic therapy has altered the clinical course of middle ear disease to more insidious. Among the complications of suppurative otitis media, Bezold's abscess is a subperiosteal abscess of the temporal bone due to a mastoiditis with extravasation through the inner bony table into the digastric fossa. It has become rare, but the variety of its clinical presentations may embarrass clinicians. In the last two years, we treated two cases of Bezold's abscess different in clinical presentations each other and we report our cases with a review of literatures.
