We report three cases of tuberculous otomastoiditis in children. Review of the literature, with particular emphasis on the ten other cases reported since 1960, discloses that this form of tuberculosis is most frequent in infants and young children. All too often, the diagnosis is made too late, with resulting complications such as irreversible hearing loss and facial nerve paralysis. Antituberculous medication and surgical drainage controlled the infection in all 13 cases diagnosed since 1960. Tests for tuberculosis in children with chronic ear infection should be mandatory, but periodic testing of all children is recommended.
我们报告了3例儿童结核性中耳乳突炎病例。回顾文献，尤其着重于自1960年以来报告的其他10例病例，发现这种形式的结核病在婴幼儿中最为常见。往往诊断为时已晚，导致诸如不可逆听力丧失和面神经麻痹等并发症。抗结核药物治疗和手术引流控制了自1960年以来确诊的所有13例病例的感染。对患有慢性耳部感染的儿童进行结核病检测应成为强制性要求，但建议对所有儿童进行定期检测。
