title: [Packing drainage of transmastoid approach for treatment of otogenic brain abscess: a report of 30 cases].
abstract: Thirty cases of patients with otogenic brain abscess (OBA) who received mastoid radical operations were treated simultaneously by means of packing drainage via the appoach of the mastoid operative cavity. 26 cases of those were cured. The results showed that the therapeutical method gave satisfactory effectiveness and had many advantages. It provided an effective montitor for retraction and had many vomica, and gave ample drainage for retraction in that it made OBA seldom recur. The operative procedure is fit for the great majority of OBA. The paper also discussed intraoperative and postoperative complications and other problems pertinent to the operation.
