[Difficulties of diagnostic and therapeutic policy in association of purulent intracranial processes with inflammatory ENT diseases].

The paper analyses treatment given to 125 patients with purulent intracranial processes combining with inflammatory diseases of the paranasal sinuses, ear and other diseases. Otorhinogenic genesis was diagnosed in 45.6% cases. Often, affections of the paranasal sinuses and ear mask the true reason of the intracranial pathology, making problems for diagnosis and choice of therapeutic policy. Differential-diagnostic features of the diseases which may complicate with purulent intracranial processes as well as urgent therapeutic measures are described.
