- Abstract
The article presents the case study of a 50-year-old woman with left facial paresis and left serous otitis media in whom Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) was appearing as mastoiditis. The facial paresis was resolved by placing a myringotomy tube, but her left ear was draining culture-negative fluid. Mastoid opacification without bony destruction was found through computed tomography (CT). A modified radical mastoidectomy was performed because she had a small mastoid.
