A member asked:
Earache & severe constant headache for almost 7 weeks. mri & ct shows abscess/fluid in petrous apex. ent believes its incidental. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2nd opinion: If you still have severe headache and earache, you should seek a 2nd opinion. Although not my specialty, I suspect that the CT finding may be be incidental and needs be addressed ASAP.
