Otogenic brain abscess still occurs despite advances in antibiotics. The possible diagnosis should be disproved rather than ignored in any patient who presents with a discharging ear and who has any intracranial symptoms. Otogenic brain abscess carries a 47.2 per cent risk of a fatal outcome and those patients who survive have a 95 per cent risk of developing epilepsy.
尽管抗生素有所发展，但耳源性脑脓肿仍有发生。对于任何有耳流脓且伴有任何颅内症状的患者，应排除可能的诊断，而不应忽视。耳源性脑脓肿有47.2%的致命风险，存活下来的患者有95%的癫痫发作风险。
