Physical examination: afebrile, conscious and oriented. Left otoscopy: minimal whitish-yellowish discharge, crust with tympanic retraction is observed. Right otoscopy without alterations. The rest of the physical examination was unremarkable. Given the clinical findings and the patient's comorbidities, we started antibiotic treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and she was called to assess again in 48 hours, after which she presented with feverish spikes of up to 40ºC and abundant otorrhea. To conscious exploration, disoriented in time and space. Otoscopy disabled by pain. On neurological examination, she presented predominantly motor aphasia and right homonymous hemianopsia. Given these new clinical data and torpid evolution, we were referred to the hospital emergency room where urgent analysis and cranial CT were performed, describing findings compatible with intracranial extension of the otic process, presenting an area of cerebritis in the left temporal region. Chronic otitis media is an inflammatory process in the middle-ear space that results in long-term, or more often, permanent changes in the tympanic membrane including atelectasis, perforation, tympanosclerosis, retraction pocket development, or cholesteatoma [1,2]. Long-term Eustachian tube dysfunction with a poorly aerated middle-ear space, multiple bouts of acute otitis media, persistent middleear infection, or other chronic inflammatory stimuli are some of the etiological factors of otitis media. The microbiological picture shows the involvement of organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, very rare in acute otitis media. Once the infection spreads beyond the confines of the lining mucoperiosteum of the middle-ear cleft, it opens door to various complications among which a brain abscess is being dealt with in this report [3,4]. Most of the authors have delineated the location of otogenic brain abscesses in the cerebrum (temporal lobe) than in the cerebellum; however, it's an interesting observation that majority of cerebellar abscesses are associated with middle ear infections [5-8]. Nevertheless, Murthy and Dubey found the occurrence of otogenic abscesses frequently in the cerebellum. Despite diagnostic and therapeutic achievements, mortality from otogenic brain abscesses is still relatively high and usually requires combined neurosurgical and otolaryngological surgery.
