ABSTRACT
Gradenigo syndrome is caused by petrous inflammation, also called petrositis. It includes acute otitis media, diplopia, and homolateral retroorbital pain due to trigeminal and abducens nerve injury. We describe a child with petrositis secondary to acute otitis media. The lack of otoscopic abnormality and the presence of bilateral headache made the diagnostic difficult. After complementary investigations searching for an intracranial process, the diagnosis was made based on brain and skull base dimensional computed tomography.
