Abstract Suppuration in the petrosal pyramid is found to occur in two forms. In one, an osteomyelitic lesion develops in the bone, and in the other, coalescent osteitis is present.

It is therefore necessary to touch on the pathologic entities of these infections so as to comprehend their varying clinical courses and differing clinical pictures. Both these lesions are found to accompany or follow an infection of the tympanic cavity. According to Ramadier, one deals with two forms of osteomyelitic lesions in the petrosal pyramid.
