“…O envolvimento do osso temporal pela tuberculose foi primeiramente descrito por Jean Louis Petit no século XVIII, muito antes da descoberta do bacilo da tuberculose 1 .

Os sinais clínicos da doença foram pela primeira vez delineados por Wilde, que, em 1853, descreveu a ocorrência de otorréia indolor e as características da membrana timpânica 3 .…”

Este trabalho resulta de revisão bibliográfica desde o início do século XX sobre Otite Média Tuberculosa (O.M.T.). Aborda aspectos históricos, epidemiológicos, fisiopatológicos, clínicos, diagnósticos e de tratamento, dando ênfase à evolução dos mesmos ao longo dos anos, diante das diversas modificações ocorridas na população e na medicina. Além disso frisa a prevalência de formas de tuberculose extra-pulmonar, como a OMT, nos indivíduos HIV positivos, o que em nosso contexto atual é de extrema importância.

“…Rarely either intracranial tuberculoma or abscess has been reported, 5,14,15 and these appear to be a result of hematogenous spread rather than direct extension. Our patient had ringenhancing lesions with surrounding vasogenic edema in multiple areas of the brain including the cerebellum.…”

Mastoiditis caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) has an extremely low incidence in paediatric patients and intracranial complications are even rarer. We report the case of a 2-year-old Caucasian male who presented to a tertiary ENT centre with a left sided mastoid swelling and drowsiness after having been treated unsuccessfully for unresolving ear pain and discharge for 6 weeks. He was subsequently found to have mastoiditis with intracranial complications caused by mycobacterium TB. This report aims to increase awareness of TB as a potential cause of chronic unresolving ear pain in the paediatric age group, as well as the importance of multidisciplinary team management.
