Summary: Introduction: Gradenigo syndrome (also known as apical petrositis) is a clinical triad of otitis media, trigeminal neuralgia and ipsilateral abducens nerve palsy. In the era of antibiotic therapy, it is an exceptional but potentially life threatening complication of acute otitis media, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. Case report: A seven-year-old girl with previous history of otitis, presented with left ear pain, headache, diplopia and fever. Diagnosis of Gradenigo syndrome was established and she was treated with systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics and myringotomy with timpanostomy tube placement. Clinical outcome was favourable. Conclusion: This case documents therapeutic success and total recovery with a conservative approach in an immunocompetent child with Gradenigo syndrome.

Desde o advento da antibioterapia, passou a ser uma complicação rara da otite média aguda mas potencialmente fatal, requerendo diagnóstico e tratamento atempados. Caso clínico: Criança do sexo feminino, com sete anos de idade e história prévia de otite, com quadro de otalgia, cefaleia, diplopia e febre. Foi feito o diagnóstico de síndrome de Gradenigo e instituída antibioterapia de amplo espectro e miringotomia com colocação de tubos de ventilação transtimpânicos. A evolução clínica foi favorável. Conclusão: Este caso documenta o sucesso terapêutico e a recuperação total de uma criança imunocompetente com síndrome de Gradenigo com recurso a uma abordagem conservadora.Unidade Local de Saúde de Santo António2016-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25753/BirthGrowthMJ.v23.i1.8588eng2183-9417Mendes, CatarinaGarrido, CristinaGuedes, MargaridaMarques, Laurainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-07T09:37:36Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/8588Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T14:39:18.355313Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
