Abstract

In the acute chronic suppurative otitis media and cholesteatoma, pus accumulated in the mastoid cavity can flow and accumulate beneath the periosteum of temporal bone through the rupture region of lateral bone lamella of mastoid process, forming the subperiosteal temporal abscess. The common causes include acute suppurative otitis media not treated thoroughly, decreased systemic or local immunity, and chronic lesions in the nose and pharynx. It has not been determined whether tympanic cavity catheterization can be complicated with this disease. Poor pneumatization of mastoid process may be associated with the disease. The most common pathogen is staphylococcus aureus.
