Mastoidectomy in case of a retroauricular abscess was changed to retroauricular needle aspiration or incision. All patients diagnosed with AM 2017\u20142021 were identified retrospectively in our patient file records and all relevant clinical data retrieved, including data on epidemiology and microbiology (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200973; 26 with subperiosteal abscess).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, the conservative management strategy led to resolved disease without further treatment in 94% of cases. Cases presenting with a subperiosteal abscess and receiving initial conservative surgical treatment healed in 92%, although 8% needed repeated aspiration or incision. Two children (8%) had secondary mastoidectomy due to disease progression. At 1.4%, complications were rare and the hospital stay short (mean 2.9\u00a0days). The incidence of AM was low during the Covid pandemic. Bacterial spectrum was comparable to earlier findings, resistance to penicillin\/ampicillin slightly increased at 11%\/33%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Conservative initial management of pediatric AM leads to favorable outcomes not inferior to a more aggressive approach including primary mastoidectomy in case of subperiosteal abscess.
