Desenho do Estudo:  Estudo retrospetivo longitudinal de coorte.  Material e Métodos:  Analisaram-se os dados clínicos e demográficos de todas crianças admitidas no Hospital de Braga para tratamento hospitalar por otomastoidite entre janeiro de 2014 e dezembro de 2023.  Resultados:  Avaliaram-se 100 crianças (63% do sexo masculino; idade média 44,5±39,2 meses). As principais complicações incluíram abscesso subperiósteo (28%) e trombose do seio sigmóide (7%). O tratamento cirúrgico foi necessário em 77% dos casos. Verificou-se um aumento significativo do número de casos e de intervenções cirúrgicas ao longo da década, contudo este valor variou entre 9,3±3,7 casos/ano na pré-pandemia, 4,6±1,4 durante a pandemia e 17±1,4 após a pandemia.  Conclusões:  Os casos de otomastoidite aumentaram nos últimos anos, com uma redução temporária durante a pandemia. A monitorização contínua da evolução epidemiológica será fundamental para compreender a evolução destes padrões.]]></p></abstract>

Conclusions:  Otomastoiditis cases have increased in recent years, with a temporary reduction during the pandemic.
