As a part of a bilateral educational exchange program two Danish ENT residents were invited to Zimbabwe in 2015. During this exchange a 9-year-old girl was admitted due to complications to acute otitis media (AOM). She developed Gradenigo's syndrome and later on a brain abscess leading to a fatal outcome. Life threatening complications to AOM are rare in developed countries today but are still a challenge in developing countries. We put forward this case from a developing country to bring focus to the fact that a fatal outcome is the consequence if specialist treatment is not accessible.
作为双边教育交流项目的一部分，两名丹麦耳鼻喉科住院医师于2015年受邀前往津巴布韦。在此次交流期间，一名9岁女孩因急性中耳炎（AOM）并发症入院。她发展为Gradenigo综合征，后来出现脑脓肿，最终导致死亡。如今，在发达国家，AOM危及生命的并发症很少见，但在发展中国家仍是一项挑战。我们提出这个来自发展中国家的病例，以强调如果无法获得专科治疗，就会导致致命后果这一事实。
