Abstract
Intracranial consequences from chronic otitis media can be dreadful. Meningitis is the most frequent complication followed by a cerebral abscess. In this pre-antibiotic era, otogenic brain abscess is rare, but it poses one of the life-threatening complications of otitis media. In recent years, brain abscess was noticed almost only in patients of chronic Otitis media with cholesteatoma. A case of a 36-year-old non-diabetic male patient with an otogenic cerebellar abscess, who presented with no cerebellar signs and unique intraoperative ossicular chain status was successfully managed by a combined approach of otolaryngology and neurosurgery, is presented in this report.
