ABSTRACT
Complications of acute otitis media are greatly decreased since the introduction of antibiotics. However, inappropriate antibiotic therapy leads to complications of acute otitis media in children associated with significant morbidity. Among the complication of acute otitis media, Bezold’s abscess is an abscess in the sternocleidomastoid muscle where pus from a mastoiditis escapes into the sternocleidomastoid. It is a rare complication of acute otitis media in these days. The authors report a case of Bezold’s abscess with acute coalescent mastoiditis occurring in 9-month-old infant with review of literatures. To our knowledge, this is the youngest case report of Bezold’s abscess in Korea. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2014;25:185–190)
