Abstract
Chronic otitis media (COM) and its associated complications are currently less common because of the popularity of imaging modalities such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and the increased use of antibiotics. Patients can be treated without any complications owing to early diagnosis. Despite all these new developments and opportunities, complications of autogenous cerebellar abscess may develop and be fatal. In this case report, we present our own clinical experience regarding a patient with cerebellar abscess as a complication of COM.Entities:
