Examples of otitis media complications include mastoiditis, meningitis, periauricular subperiosteal abscess, epidural or subdural abscess, brain abscess, lateral sinus thrombophlebitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, and facial paralysis.
A significant number experienced severe symptoms such as ear discharge, ear canal swelling, pain, periauricular cellulitis, and fever.
This symptom is usually caused by mobilization or by discontinuity of the greater auricular nerve, which courses in close proximity to the parotid tail and supplies sensory function to the periauricular region.
