- Abstract
Objective: Aim of this paper is to report a case of multiloculated cerebellar abscess secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma and to review the literature. Methods: Case report and literature review. Discussion and Conclusion: Early diagnosis and management of intracranial complications of chronic otitis may be lifesaving. The standard reported approach for the management of otogenic intracranial abscess is mastoidectomy in combination with abscess drainage, either by a craniotomy for abscess excision or by stereotactic drainage under CT guidance.
