title: Clival Syndrome Secondary to Anaerobic Mastoiditis in A 2-Year-Old Child.
abstract: Complications of acute mastoiditis can occur in about 10-20% of cases. Clival syndrome is a rare complication of mastoiditis, involving the 6th and 12th cranial nerves. We describe a case of a child with mastoiditis and presumed Lemierre syndrome complicated by clival syndrome.
