Gradenigo syndrome without acute otitis media.
Acute otitis media complications are less and less common, thanks to the more widespread availability and use of adequate antibiotics. Nevertheless, when they occur, they may be inconspicuous or silent but with dangerous evolution. Described here is the case of a 5-year-old child suffering from incomplete Gradenigo syndrome without acute otitis media, which was managed medically with favorable outcome.
