Petrositis - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - petrositis
Ячейки височной кости, окружающие лабиринт, сообщаются со средним ухом посредством узких извилистых клеточных ходов. При значительном снижении сопротивляемости организма инфекция распространяется по этим ходам или гематогенным путём. Развивается остеомиелит. Отток гноя затруднён, еще больше ухудшается при формировании грануляций. Происходит гнойное расплавление костной ткани. В зависимости от варианта пневматизации воспаление охватывает всю пирамиду или ее отдельные участки. При изолированном поражении верхушки формируется петроапицит.
В гнойно-воспалительный процесс вовлекается головной мозг и его оболочки. Апицит приводит к возникновению ограниченного верхушечного лептоменингита либо, распространяясь дальше по верхней части пирамиды, вызывает воспаление оболочек мозга в области средней и задней черепных ямок. В результате могут развиваться тромбозы кавернозного синуса, нейропатии черепно-мозговых нервов. Петрозит с поражением нижней поверхности костной структуры провоцирует прорыв гноя в носоглотку.
