Severe complications may not always present with "classic" signs and symptoms. In the setting of recent mastoiditis, complications including cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, skull base osteomyelitis, and retropharyngeal abscess should be considered, particularly with persistent or worsening symptoms. A broad differential can lead to prompt diagnosis and treatment, thereby reducing the likelihood of morbidity and mortality.
严重并发症可能并不总是表现出“典型”的体征和症状。在近期发生乳突炎的情况下,应考虑包括脑静脉窦血栓形成、颅底骨髓炎和咽后脓肿在内的并发症,尤其是在症状持续或恶化时。广泛的鉴别诊断有助于及时诊断和治疗,从而降低发病和死亡的可能性。
