Abstract: (4830 Views)
The report of two cases of chest and kidney infections reminds of the
possibility of distant infections caused by thrombophlebitic complications of
cholesteatoma.
Deep neck infection, mediastinitis, pleural empyema, pulmonary abscesses
and hematogenic microabscesses of kidney have been proved by clinical,
radiologic and laboratory examinations in two cholesteatoma patients. The
clinical course of distant infections could be terminated by effective surgical
elimination of contaminated thrombi from sigmoid sinus during a mastoid
surgery.
