Is there an increase in spontaneous CSF leaks? will be discussed.
Through the presentation of clinical cases, the result of 15 years of experience in the field of otology, we briefly describe the pathology of chronic otitis media, and then explain how this pathology and its different presentations can lead to intracranial and extracranial complications. We take an approach that includes etiological, pathophysiological, and imaging diagnosis, before moving on to the treatment and prognosis of each particular case according to the associated complication. This course is enriched by the multidisciplinary approach required for this type of pathology, explaining neurosurgical techniques, imaging studies, relevant bacteriological studies, and concluding with the pharmacological and surgical otolaryngological treatment proposed for each type of complication. The variety of clinical cases facilitates the explanation of the different types of management that should be taken in relation to chronic otitis media and its possible complications.
