Abstract
Since Meyer (i) in 1920 first described herniation of a part of the temporal lobe into the incisura tentorii (space of Bichat) several publications on this subject have appeared in neurological and neurosurgical literature.
Vincent et al. (2) stressed the point that especially processes in the temporal lobe may give rise to this condition.
The symptomatology of tentorial herniation and compression of the brainstem in temporal lobe abscess is described.
This important syndrome should be known to the otologist.
A report on a case of otogenous temporal lobe abscess complicated by this syndrome is given.
