“…According to a recent study, despite the introduction of pneumococcal vaccines the pediatrics hospitalization rate for AM did not decline between 2000 and 2012 [18]. However, according to the same authors, there was a decline in the hospitalization rates for the children between 0 and 2 years in the years between 2009 and 2012 [18]. This could reflect a protective benefit of pneumococcal vaccination.…”

Acute mastoiditis (AC) is a serious complication of acute otitis media (AOM) affecting, in most cases, the pediatric population. Diagnosis is usually easy in front of a retro auricular swelling associated to OM. However, this disease may cause significant and even life threatening complications beyond the tympanomastoid system such as peripheral facial nerve palsy, Bezold's abscess, meningitis, subperiosteal abscess and brain abscess. Management of AC remains controversial raging from conservative treatment in the form of IV antibiotics to more aggressive interventions such as mastoidectomy. This retrospective study represents our experience in the management of AC in the pediatric population. Our purpose was to review and discuss clinical presentations and main treatment modalities of AM.

“…However, its effectiveness in decreasing otomastoiditis (OM), a local/suppurative complication of AOM, has barely been reviewed [15][16][17][18]. We have performed several studies related to IPD, particularly by looking at the effectiveness of PCV13 on overall IPD and meningitis and pleural empyema [19][20][21].…”

“…[2][3][4] Moreover, this stability persists despite the introduction of pneumococcal immunisation in the standard care of children in several countries. 5 A blockage of the aditus ad antrum is the first step in the pathogenesis of acute mastoiditis, which is common for all ages. This blockage results in the trapping of serous exudate in the mastoid air cells and, in turn, pus formation, which can spread to the periosteum, causing periostitis.…”

Objective Bibliographic data for the management of acute mastoiditis in infants aged six months or less are very limited. This study investigated the presenting symptomatology, diagnostic and treatment options, and final outcomes in this age group. Method A retrospective review was conducted of all infants aged six months or less suffering from acute mastoiditis, admitted to our department between 2007 and 2017. Results Eleven infants were identified. All of them developed the typical symptomatology of acute mastoiditis, while a higher rate of subperiosteal abscess formation was observed. Imaging was necessary in three cases only. Parenteral antibiotics and myringotomy were applied in all infants. A drainage procedure was also included in the infants with a subperiosteal abscess. Antrotomy was reserved for non-responsive cases. No intracranial complications were observed. All infants were cured without further complications or sequelae. Conclusion Acute mastoiditis in infants aged six months or less can be safely diagnosed and treated using a standardised algorithmic approach, similar to that used for older children.
